As a University of Utah professor and licensed psychologist for 23 years, I've supervised graduate students and post-doctoral trainees, taught advanced coursework, and conducted research on topics ranging from psychotherapy to clinical diagnostics, assessment, theories of personality, behavior change, psychopathology and aging.

Read more about my practice on Psychology Today.

In a safe environment, you can explore your thoughts and feelings at the root of your concerns, activate core values, and modify problematic life patterns and, in this way, find personal resources for change.

My approach examines your past experiences and how these influence your feeling and thinking. Therapy is careful listening, thoughtful interpretation and nonjudgmental acceptance of your issues. Mobilizing your core values can help you diminish painful feelings and find congruency and contentment.
