- Supportive-Expressive Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (SE)
- Stoic Mindfulness and Resilience Training (SMRT)
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT)
- Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT)
- Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)
- Schema Therapy (ST)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
I hold a Certificate of Effectiveness awarded by A Collaborative Outcomes Research Network through independent statistical analysis of my therapy outcomes. I have completed Level 3 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I am former Vice President of the A. K. Rice Institute for the Study of Social Systems and an AKRI-Certified Consultant. I have a special interest in working with healthcare providers, fellow mental health professionals, and trainees.

Connection & Understanding Inside
Connection and understanding are key ingredients in helping, and in psychotherapeutic success. Yet, genuineness and true empathic understanding come from life experiences not commonly found in clinical psychologists. This is what makes me different. I can connect and understand where other professionals typically cannot. The breadth of my life experience, combined with the depth of my training, lets me focus on both immediate symptoms and the origins of problems in living.
