Approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Couples [Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (ICBT)], Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychodynamic, Solution-focused
Therapy Style
I focus on the therapeutic relationship which is found to be the most important element of success in treatment. Once established, this relationship supports the patient's adoption of the skills needed to resolve their issues. It also is the basis for a solutions based approach where specific steps toward recovery can be implemented by the patient.

Why did you become a mental health professional?
I was born and raised in England where my mother worked as a medical doctor and therapist. So after spending some years in the world of business and finance I followed her footsteps. I have found it a privilege and a pleasure to work with the very diverse patients that I have treated.
What are your interests outside of work?
My interests include: exercise, bicycling, swimming and hiking. I like spending time with friends. As I was born in England, I still enjoy some British shows on TV.
What book have you read more than once?
The tin drum - Gunther Grass. It is a strange mix of psychology and history that describes very fully the feeling of being an outsider.
Favorite organization/non-profit?
The Childrens Psychological Health Center which I used to run and has done great work for children challenged by autism or trauma together with providing support for their parents
