My Approach

Whether serving in a clinical role or in a forensic capacity, I provide high quality services in a respectful, thoughtful and efficient manner; follow the highest ethical standards; and maintain professional integrity. I am straight-forward, humorous and empathic in my approach, and strive to facilitate open, honest and respectful communication while helping individuals and families reach their goals. I believe I can best serve my clients by helping them 1) utilize their own experience and knowledge; 2) build on their current strengths; and 3) tailor solutions to fit their unique circumstances.
