Or as my clients like to call me, Dr. B.  I have been fortunate to have spent the past 24 years pursuing my passion of helping others to discover their best selves and live a more fulfilling life.  It has been an honor to be a co-navigator with thousands of clients on their individual journeys. Those clients have often remarked that they find my approach to be warm, welcoming and accepting.  Many have also expressed gaining insights that they had not achieved in previous episodes of care.

My clinical experience is extensive and diverse.  The first part of my career was devoted to working exclusively with children especially those who had experienced traumas.  In addition to my work as the lead psychologist for a hospital based outpatient clinic, I was invited to serve as the mental health liaison for the local Children’s Advocacy Center, a position I continued to hold for 14 years.  Through this position I provided consultation to law enforcement, social service agencies, schools, physicians, and the legal community on mental health issues related to children and at risk families.

Through the years my clinical work has expanded to include adults which has been a very positive and welcomed addition. I thoroughly enjoy helping individuals to learn more effective coping strategies, communicate more successfully with others, feel more confident and accepting of themselves, and find a greater sense of balance and joy in their lives.

While many other clinicians you may be considering have limited their practice to specific specialties, my career has afforded me the unique opportunity to develop proven skills in working with several different areas of specialty utilizing evidenced based treatment approaches tailored to every client’s individual needs.  How does this benefit my clients?  Human beings do not typically fall into distinct categories and neither do the reasons they seek treatment.  Our lives and our relationships are multi-layered and complex.  My clients can have confidence that I have the ability to address a wide variety of issues that might arise during our work together without compromising clinical integrity or the need to make outside referrals.

I understand that choosing a clinician to work with can be a difficult and even scary decision.  I am more than happy to speak with you to provide a free phone consultation to ensure that I am the right Psychologist for you or your loved one.  Thank you for considering my practice.  I look forward to working with you!
