Finding a good match is especially important in choosing a therapist. I believe the therapeutic relationship is vital and my goal is to provide a collaborative and interactive psychotherapy experience. I have almost 20 years experience treating people who experience depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder and, as well, struggle with drug and alcohol abuse. Depending on the needs of the patient, I integreate both psychodynamic principles, which invole the exploration of one's past and its impact on the present, and cognitive behavioral techniques, which involve changing thoughts and behaviors that can continue to the presenting problems and/or symptoms.
