Clinical services offered

TreesI am a licensed psychologist in Central Phoenix, about a half block North of Thomas Road on 24th Street in the Biltmore area, conveniently located off Highways 51, 202 and 10. I offer services primarily to adults within day appointment times. I do not offer evening or weekend appointment times.


My approach to therapy is mainly cognitive behavioral, with an emphasis on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). By changing the way we look at situations, even when we are unable to change problematic situations, we can alter the way we perceive and believe. This in turn can impact our well being and mental health in positive ways by bringing about changes in mood, behavior and strengthening our belief that we can weather changes and tough times. I also rely heavily on behavioral techniques, as doing and taking action can also lead to change. Areas of interest and expertise include treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, anger management, recovery from trauma, managing impulses, coping with major mental illness, adjusting to life changes, dealing with grief and loss issues, and focusing on health-related and medical concerns including compliance with medical regimens, eating disorders and weight issues, pain management and smoking cessation.  
 
Services offered include:
 
  • Individual therapy services
  • EMDR therapy services
  • Testing and assessment services
  • Pre-surgery psychological evaluations
  • Consultation and referral services
  • Clinical supervision by arrangement
 
I know how hard it can be to take that first step and seek help. Your halfway there, just by setting up an appointment. 
 
I accept private pay, with fees starting at $150 per 45-minute session hour. Most major insurance is also accepted.
 
I look forward to your contact.
