About Southwest Medical Psychology
Welcome! My practice is based on the belief that change is possible at every phase of our lives. I specialize in working with medical and surgical patients who may need some psychological or behavioral assistance before surgery as well as after surgery.
I also provide therapy for patients with chronic pain, who are undergoing chemotherapy, PTSD, and also for the patient who is terminally ill. Treatment options include the use of behavior modification, relaxation, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, as well as schema-focused cognitive psychotherapy for more enduring issues.
Achieving your physical and mental health-related goals, whether adjusting to a new life after bariatric surgery, learning to live with chronic pain, or gently accepting life's final developmental phase, all these are goals worth pursuing. For the medical or surgical patient, my years as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room, as well as my training as a Clinical Psychologist, provide an effective combination of medical knowledge and compassionate psychotherapy.
I answer my own phone and return calls personally. Every effort will be made to return phone calls within 24 hours. However, delays may occur due to unforeseeable circumstances. Your understanding is appreciated. Please feel free to email me at the address listed below. Be sure to write "Appointment" in the subject area on your email so I will recognize it. I delete emails with blank subject lines. I welcome the opportunity to communicate with you! Please bear in mind that email is not secure.
