I specialize in providing psychological services to children and adolescents. These include neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy. Assessments can be invaluable tools that provide diagnostic clarification, treatment recommendations, and the basis for academic accommodations. The therapeutic interventions I provide to young clients can be used to address a range of common challenges including, but not limited to emotional dysregulation and behavior problems. Based on the client, therapy may take various forms and could entail a talk or play-based approach. I regularly integrate parent or family sessions when appropriate.
I also have extensive experience in providing assessment and psychotherapy to adults. My adult therapy work draws on psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. I aim to assist adults to build insight and work towards individuation through a strong therapeutic alliance. With couples, I offer an emotion-focused approach to target improved communication.
Forming a professional relationship with a clinician can be a delicate process. That being said, I am happy to host a free, 20-minute, phone consultation. During this conversation, we will be able to determine our goodness of fit, potential areas of growth, and appropriate treatment goals.
