I am a clinical psychologist licensed in the state of Virginia. My services include individual, family and couples therapy. My approach to treatment is based on the premise that the way we feel and behave is influenced by the way in which we structure and think about our world, cognitive therapy. I try to focus on the here and now, but will also work at understanding your past and how that has influenced your thinking and feeling. Therapy works better when there is
an active, collaborative relationship between the therapist and the patient. I will make every effort to assess the type and extent of your problems and concerns and develop a treatment plan to work towards accomplishing your goals.

Some specific problems I can help with include: relationship issues (including marriage and family problems), grief and loss, depression, anxiety, phobias, PTSD, abuse and trauma.
