As a clinical psychologist, I believe the cornerstone of mental health is caring for yourself-- physically, spiritually and in your relationships with others. For over 30 years, I have worked to help patients create a balance in their lives that promotes a sense of well-being. My experience is broad, ranging from work with preschoolers to the geriatric population. I have worked with individuals with severe psychiatric illnesses, developmental delays, anxiety, depression and personality disorders. Some of the patients I have served were also facing serious social and economic issues while battling terminal illness, trauma and grief. Despite many contributing variables, I believe healing is possible in a welcoming, honest. open and safe relationship with a dedicated mental health professional.
