Since 1999, I have had a wide range of experiences as a psychologist that have prepared me well to work with a number of different themes or concerns you may want to discuss.
As a therapist, I have worked in settings that include:
- Outpatient medical hospitals
- Substance Abuse treatment programs
- County-sponsored programs for the under-represented
- Spiritual Counseling Center
I have also acted as a consultant in specialty areas that include:
- Consultant for Emergency Room and Triage services
- Clinical Supervisor and Director of Training for post-doctoral psychology fellows
- Coordinator for Group treatment and Behavioral Health Education Programs
As a psychological treatment and health education coordinator, I have designed, implemented, and/or led a multitude of programs to help those with anxiety and mood concerns such as:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression, social anxiety, worry, panic, phobias, OCD, male sexual dysfunction, and impulse control problems
- Mindfulness and Acceptance Commitment therapy skills for mood and anxiety management
- Integrated therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) including Cognitive processing therapy, exposure therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Managing Stress and Anger
- Strength based Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
- Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for depression and relationship based concerns
