Professional experience

Clinical interests
My areas of interest include mood and anxiety conditions, especially as they relate to interpersonal issues (i.e., one’s love-life). I believe that relationships (especially romantic ones) play an integral part in our mental health, and when one’s love-life is compromised, people are prone to experience mood and anxiety symptoms that compromise functioning and overall happiness.

Love-Life interests and expertise
Regarding love-life issues, I am particularly interested in areas such as men’s issues in relationships, internet dating, relationships in our 20’s and 30’s, and coping with issues such as infidelity and jealousy. A large portion of my doctoral work involved working with a people who struggled in the aforementioned areas, so I feel particularly qualified to help with those topics.

Practice information
In my private practice, I like to see a variety of clients. I work with individuals, couples, families, and sometimes children and adolescents. As I mentioned, I often work with mood and anxiety conditions, but I will also help people with family issues, career difficulties, pain management, and weight conditions.

Love-Life biography
At the time of this writing, I am 35 years old, with a history of both casual dating and serious relationships. I have never been married, and do not have any children. I began dating at about age 16, when I met my high-school sweetheart, and dated throughout college and graduate school. I met a woman when I was 26 that I wanted to become seriously involved with, but she was four years younger than myself and not prepared for a committed relationship. This experience sparked my interest in topics such as grieving, jealousy, and commitment.
