Working with a cognitive-behavioral therapist is an excellent way to get satisfying solutions for most problems in a short amount of time. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, my approach is problem-oriented and interactive, focusing mostly on present concerns. I will want to know some things about your past, but we won't dwell on it, because most people want to move forward. My warm, calm style will help you feel relaxed and comfortable. I listen well and actively give feedback, ideas, concrete solutions and practical tools.
One tool (which I can email to you) will help you communicate with your loved ones in a way that my clients find extremely helpful and effective -- it most often leads to immediate positive changes in a relationship. Another tool will help you manage unwanted thoughts and feelings, as they occur, moment by moment.
Clients who have had therapy before often mention that what I do is different. Part of it may be my cognitive-behavioral approach, as it is easily understood and practical. The other part may be that I love what I do.
