My Approach to Psychotherapy

Removing Obstacles to Help You Live a Fulfilling Life

Psychotherapy is a process of identifying and removing obstacles that get in the way of happiness and is a method for learning to become more satisfied with yourself, for improving coping with the stresses of life, and for reducing specific emotional symptoms that interfere with overall well-being and functioning.

Compassionate Therapy for Adults in Scottsdale & Phoenix

I work together with you to create an individualized treatment plan whether you are suffering from symptoms of ADHD, mood or anxiety disorders, interpersonal conflict, or difficult life transitions. My treatment options include evidence-based psychiatric medication, when indicated, and supportive psychotherapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy, tailored to the individual. My disclaimer is that no medication will make all the symptoms go away and I focus on the importance of examining each individual with their own unique history, environment, relationships, genetics, coping skills, diet, and sleep patterns. I help people focus on their strengths to help build confidence in various areas within their lives. And I value the therapeutic relationship, which has been shown to be one of the strongest predictors of positive mental health outcomes.
