Over the course of over twenty years as a practicing psychologist, my compassion for the challenges and complexities of life has deepened, and I appreciate the fears associated with change. My approach to therapy emphasizes meeting people where they are at and creating a collaborative treatment plan. Alongside an orientation of optimism and resilience, I stress new-skill development and the incorporation of personal strengths.
I see teens and adults, and treat a wide variety of problems. Areas of expertise include anxiety-based problems, depression, underachievement, low motivation, and ADHD assessment/treatment.
