My approach begins with an assessment of presenting problems, a diagnosis and the development of a treatment plan that I share with my client (or clients if I am working with a couple). I may use psychological testing if necessary. We set goals together and continually assess progress. My therapeutic techniques are primarily cognitive behavioral and insight oriented. I offer lectures and workshops on parenting, relationship enrichment and communication strategies.
