As a doctoral-level psychologist, practicing in Lee County since 2001, my approach to helping clients make lasting improvements in their lives includes providing hope for change, research-based techniques and practical problem solving skills. Specific treatment goals are developed collaboratively, beginning in the first session. Treatments focus on clarifying current struggles and identifying strengths and skills to make lasting improvements in the following areas: life stressors, work or school concerns, relationships, health, problematic behaviors and symptoms of anxiety, depression or other similar diagnosis. The ultimate goal of psychotherapy is fulfillment in daily life.
