My primary professional interest is psychological testing and assessment. I evaluate children, adolescents, and adults having a wide array of presenting issues, and I have particular experience in assessing young people for ADHD, learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, behavioral disorders, and mood disorders. My passion is for providing the diagnostic clarity that can illuminate the path toward the most effective interventions for the people whom I serve. I also accept a limited number of therapy clients. I work well with children and families having behavioral issues, and with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and anger issues.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help.

It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.
