Clinical Psychologist

ABOUT ME:
Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University). I find it helpful to promote positive psychology (individual strengths, well-being, happiness) and to address problems or symptoms simultaneously.
STYLE
IN THE THERAPY SESSION: I help my clients adjust their lives, and get back to feeling their best. Life should be much the way you'd like it to be, and therapy can help. This is good news! As a result of therapy, clients generally have fewer symptoms and a better life [Consumer Reports. (1995, November). Mental Health: Does Therapy Help? pp. 734-739]. If you're feeling distressed or are not functioning as well as you would like, take action. Many alternatives are available for treatment. In my practice I recognize that each client is unique, and I tailor my approach to you.
I meet with clients in a private office, and listen to their concerns and goals carefully as we assess the issues together. I find that testing is sometimes helpful in identifying opportunities for resolving problems and enhancing one's personal strengths. My efforts are focused on improving well-being.
My offices are located on the top floors of downtown high-rises (Seattle & Bellevue). This affords additional anonymity that some clients appreciate
