Psychological treatment is a shared responsibility between you and me. In order to do my best to help you, I need to know your honest thoughts and feelings. It calls for a very active effort on your part. If you are engaged in treatment, you may be asked to work on things both during our sessions and outside my office. Most problems have solutions, so if you are experiencing problems with our treatment process, please let me know immediately. |
|
We will jointly create a plan for treatment based on your needs and goals. Together, we will decide the type of treatment, for about how long and how often we should meet, and when and how we will monitor your progress. There are many different methods I may use to address your presenting concerns. Please feel invited to bring up any needs, requests, concerns, or questions. |

I help people with various mental health concerns. I currently treat adults, older adults, and couples. I have worked in many different settings including a community mental health center, a college counseling center, and Kaiser Permanente. I have conducted therapy for individuals, couples, and groups. I also have experience in doing psychological evaluations. |
