From the Doctor

My philosophy of care centers on the belief that behavior and emotion are deeply connected — and both deserve understanding, patience and support. I’m driven by a desire to help individuals and families make sense of challenges and create systems that lead to lasting growth. I enjoy bringing together the science of behavior and the art of counseling to guide clients toward meaningful progress and greater confidence in their daily lives.
