Evaluation & Diagnosis.

In addition to a psychological evaluation, clinical interview, and additional assessments as needed, I evaluate whether a person has symptoms of a mood disorder such as major depression, dysthymia, or bipolar disorder, or of an anxiety disorder, such as generalized or social anxiety (phobia). I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the most widely studied form of psychotherapy, to help you improve your thinking, mood, behavior, and well-being. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and on increasing general well-being over the long term. I also use positive psychology exercises to identify personal strengths, optimize performance, and increase satisfaction in life.

The Process.

After discussing the reason for the initial appointment, a thorough assessment (and possible testing) provides additional context and reveals nuances that are unique to each person. Therapy follows an individualized treatment plan to address the original concerns, as well as those that might be raised through further discussion.
