I am a Licensed Psychologist in PA, Board Certified in Clinical Psychology and a Professor in a medical school with over 35 years of experience. I originally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at pioneer Dr. Aaron Beck's clinic at Penn, and have since trained many psychologists in these evidence-based methods. I am glad to discuss your unique needs and determine if I can help you. I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy - an active, focused, and practical model designed to get results, often quickly and effectively. In a supportive, collaborative working alliance, I will listen and help to guide you in using evidence-based techniques that have been shown to make a real difference in people's lives, and help them to cope in the future. I am down-to earth, easy to talk with, and practical. I will listen to you, work together to try to understand, and I will then teach you how to take back your life NOW! In these challenging times, how we cope with challenges is within our control. I can guide you to do so using proven methods that really work.
