I am working primarily through telehealth. In-person meetings will be considered for assessment clients as needed.
About
I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in child and adolescent therapy and comprehensive psychological assessment services for all ages. I also specialize in the evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder, particularly for girls and women. I am trained in Therapeutic Assessments and consider my evaluations to be brief therapeutic interventions that may allow healing and change to occur through the process of self-discovery and reworking of narratives. I work collaboratively with my clients, their caregivers, and other important people and systems in their lives to gain a comprehensive understanding of their needs.
As a therapist, I utilize an integrative approach while tailoring my approach to the client's needs. With children, I enjoy using play therapy, art, and other techniques that allow my young clients to express themselves beyond words. I believe therapy and assessment should not only be investigative, but also playful, warm, and respectful.
I hope to spark curiosity within my clients and answer any questions that they may have about themselves throughout the evaluation and/or therapeutic process. I strive to bring the insight and clarity necessary to ensure my client’s future well-being. I look forward to meeting with you to assist you in your journey of self-discovery.
