You try to have everything in your life go a certain way. You feel out of control and get upset when things do not work out. Every time you try to complete a project or organize your life, something goes awry. People tell you to relax and everything will work out, but you are not so sure. Your partner gets mad at you because you are unavailable or you are snapping at them all the time. You don't even know if therapy can help, but you're willing to do whatever it takes.

Despite huge advances in modern technologies to extend life expectancy and increase physical comfort we have made only modest progress in relieving human psychological suffering. It appears that many of our attempts to "fix" ourselves frequently backfire. My approach is highly collaborative and uses the most up to date discoveries in the field of behavioral science to help you "have a mind without your mind having you". Together we can help you gain flexibility that reduces suffering and learn skills that increase values-based living.

I provide psychological services for children and adolescents, such as neuropsychological evaluations for neurodevelopmental disorders (i.e., ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, such as dyslexia) and psychotherapy for trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral difficulties, and more. I utilize Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) to inform a highly individualized and integrated approach tailored to each child's needs that teaches healthy coping skills (i.e., effective communication skills, relaxation techniques) to replace unhealthy coping skills (i.e., shutting down, screaming) helping them feel in control over their behaviors and feelings.
