It's your process, whether you're struggling to find your way back to the life you enjoy, or discovering a life you want to live. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

We all have challenges as well as strengths in our lives. I support my clients as they work through life challenges , and mental health diagnosis such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I see teenagers and adults as well as couples in most cases virtually. In the context of a supportive relationship, I help clients deal with emotions that are causing distress and guide them in making meaningful life changes in their behaviors, thoughts and circumstances.

I work comprehensively, taking into account all of your life's facets with a humanistic and cognitive behavioral approach, serving women, men, and people of all gender identities.

I believe that therapy should be a truly collaborative and evidence based approach. My approach is genuine and warm. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship especially in working with kids, teens, parents and families. I have many years of experience working as a school based therapist and in inpatient adolescent treatment centers. I love providing support to parents and families when working with kids individually or in the context of family based treatment. My approach with kids emphasizes a neurorelational framework.

Welcome! With a rich tapestry of experience spanning diverse communities, I bring a compassionate and nuanced approach to therapy. From supporting individuals of color to aiding veterans and guiding young adults, my journey has been one of empathy and understanding.

With each interaction, I strive to foster a safe and inclusive space, empowering individuals to navigate their unique paths towards healing and resilience.

Have you noticed a change in memory or find it harder to focus or multitask? Has there been a change in mood? A variety of conditions impact our thinking and influence how we function at home, school, and work. Fortunately, neuropsychological assessments can help identify what neurological challenges might be impacting your day-to-day. I'm a clinical neuropsychologist and I offer comprehensive evaluations for individuals with neurological and psychiatric disorders, including (but not limited to) ADHD, stroke, traumatic head injury, dementia, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Are you finding that experiences and beliefs rooted in your past are bubbling up and causing challenges in your current life and relationships? Exploring the meanings behind emotional pain can be challenging, but it can also serve as a guide for growth and healing. Together we will explore the thoughts, feelings, and stories at the root of your emotional distress, so you can move towards improved communication, healthier boundaries, and a greater sense of connection.

As a licensed clinical psychologist and pediatric neuropsychologist, I specialize in conducting comprehensive evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults.

These are difficult times & it is normal to feel anxious and out of control. I would like provide support and encouragement as you navigate your experience and feelings. I’ll listen carefully to you and provide a warm environment where you can feel safe exploring your concerns without judgement.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking the first step toward creating change. My motto is "Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light." This can only be accomplished by shedding burdens that weigh you down. I aim to create a compassionate and nurturing environment for personal exploration and healing. I enjoy working with clients who may be apprehensive of mental health services or have had negative experiences with therapy in the past.

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for 30 years. My main area of focus is working with families and children. Initially in my career, I worked with children in residential treatment settings, who were struggling with a variety of emotional and behavioral issues. During the past 20 years I have worked primarily in the field of high conflict divorce. I deal with all aspects of divorce, including mediating custody agreements, comprehensive child custody evaluations, resolving co-parenting conflicts and helping children cope with the stress of parental conflict. I also work with families dealing with blended family issues.

As the Founder and Clinical Director of Oakwood Family Treatment Centers, I have been treating adolescents, young adults and their families for over 30 years as a psychotherapist, clinical director and consultant in both outpatient and residential programs. I treat such disorders as anxiety, trauma, family conflict, drug, alcohol and behavioral addictions, co-dependency, depression, ADHD, self-harming behaviors, and self esteem issues.

Making the decision to seek help is such a pivotal moment in a person’s life. As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to offer the most current, effective, and comprehensive assessment and treatment possible. My goal is to create a space of empathy and safety with both therapy and psychological testing for a range of disorders and problems, including learning disability and ADHD evaluations. I also specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and regularly treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, panic, and more. Most importantly, I tailor the assessment and/or treatment specifically for you!

When adults and children alike build an understanding of their emotional worlds, they are better equipped to cope with life’s challenges. As your therapist, I will provide an empathic relationship in which we will explore the unique experiences and emotions, both past and present, that bring you to therapy today. Young clients may not yet be able to name their feelings, or have an awareness of what triggers challenging behaviors. Through Play Therapy, I will support your child to process feelings, increase emotional vocabulary, and develop positive coping skills. With older children, I often employ evidence-based CBT/Mindfulness.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

I provide psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults. I assess for multiple disorders including ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, depression, anxiety, etc. Depending on the outcomes of the assessment, I may also recommend educational consultation and/or educational counseling to help with any weaknesses or deficits that may be identified.

Are you struggling to process depression, anxiety, relationship/family issues, and trauma? These emotional ruptures can cause major disruptions in our lives. The work to process these types of life events is multifaceted, and I can help you identify your feelings and potential relational patterns, build tolerance and acceptance around challenging ones, and set meaningful goals. In order to do so, I utilize various therapeutic approaches consisting of ACT, CBT, and Problem Solving Therapy and somatic interventions.
