Therapists for Teens in Chadds Ford, PA

Children, adolescents, young adults, and their families may require psychoeducational evaluation for many different reasons. Is your child struggling in school and you're wondering why?

My goal with every client is to develop a full and complex profile of strengths and weaknesses through psychoeducational evaluation so that their families and schools may provide them with the support and enrichment that they need to meet their potential.

I have a certificate from Bryn Mawr College in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, and I especially enjoy working with preteens, teens, and young adults.

My focus is assisting clients in finding their own solutions.
