I am  a licensed psychologist in Indiana specializing in individual, couple and adolescent/child psychotherapy. I  maintain a private practice in the Indianapolis/Carmel area.

With over 25 years of experience as a clinician, and a graduate of Purdue University, I am in private practice working with a broad spectrum of clients. Among my areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, relationships, and child/adolescent issues.

I strive to be  a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. I incorporates a blend of conventional and alternatives approaches, drawing upon a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. With sensitivity and compassion, I try to work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.
