I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive background in both psychotherapy and assessment. Many of the clients I have worked with in psychotherapy come from backgrounds of abuse and trauma, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, relationship breakdowns, and/or adjustment difficulties to career and life transitions. I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives to psychotherapy as well as scientifically grounded research. I work collaboratively with my clients to set the goals and pace of the psychotherapy process.

Welcome neurodivergent (ND) folks! My name is Andrew and I am Autistic and ADHD , or AuDHD for short. Welcome to a place where you are accepted and appreciated. Welcome to a place where you can learn to celebrate yourself and what you have to offer. It’s time we stopped thinking about how we are “defective” and started focusing on how we are strong. Let’s figure out what it is that you excel at and let’s make a plan to find the best job that meets your needs. It’s time to stop trying to fit yourself into an environment and start building an environment that is right for you. Let’s live life on our own terms.

I help people who feel lost, confused, and hurt to feel whole again. I specialize in healing traumatic wounds, including those from spiritual, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. While I work with a range of populations, I am particularly passionate about working with Ex-Mormons, LGBTQ+ folx, and those with ADHD . Additionally, I have a special interest in assisting those who have left a high-demand group or cult, an under-recognized and often misunderstood trauma. Together, we can process what has been lost, get in touch with who YOU really are, and start building the life you dream of.

I specialize in conducting neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments with children, teens and adults. You may be aware you or those you love are experiencing difficulties in school/work but it can be hard to pinpoint the cause. A comprehensive assessment allows us to identify the cause of specific problems, cognitive strengths and weaknesses and whether you have a learning disorder (discrepancies between your potential and how you're performing) or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ). An assessment can also determine if you qualify for academic or testing accommodations (i.e., GMAT, MCAT, LSAT, GRE, SAT).

As a parent, you want your child to feel confident. You want them to communicate well, make good friends, cope with hard things, and succeed academically. But it can be so hard when your child struggles with anxiety, sadness, low self-esteem or difficulty in school. You may feel frustrated and confused when they refuse to follow directions or are frequently angry. I work with children, teenagers and parents to solve challenges and find hope and resilience.

Making the decision to seek help is such a pivotal moment in a person’s life. As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to offer the most current, effective, and comprehensive assessment and treatment possible. My goal is to create a space of empathy and safety with both therapy and psychological testing for a range of disorders and problems, including learning disability and ADHD evaluations. I also specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and regularly treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, panic, and more. Most importantly, I tailor the assessment and/or treatment specifically for you!

Seeking help amidst the sea of therapists out there is overwhelming to say the least, and one's mental health is so personal, it is hard to know who can help. Psychotherapy is a collaboration in pursuit of your growth and development. I hope to provide a safe and private space where you feel comfortable to talk about the matters of the heart that plague you. I believe you deserve nothing less than a respectful and ethical relationship where you can delve into the darker spaces inside that house some of your deepest pains and heartbreak.

Everyone has challenging times and hurts in their life they want to move past. Many need someone to accompany them to move through these times. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to helping people overcome trauma, grief, and disappointments to move toward the goals you want in your life. I have over 25 years of experience with children, youth and families who have experienced trauma, conflict, behavioral challenges, and life transitions including moving toward independence, exploring sexuality, and managing disabilities. I have seen the healing and growth that happen. Give yourself the chance.

I help parents caught in power struggles with their children and teens. ADHD , defiance, temper tantrums, shyness, sleep problems, under-achievment, depression, anxiety, bullying, and peer problems are all conditions I treat in children and adults. I treat families with issues regarding divorce, remarriage, sibling rivalry, communication and parental discord.

As the Founder and Clinical Director of Oakwood Family Treatment Centers, I have been treating adolescents, young adults and their families for over 30 years as a psychotherapist, clinical director and consultant in both outpatient and residential programs. I treat such disorders as anxiety, trauma, family conflict, drug, alcohol and behavioral addictions, co-dependency, depression, ADHD , self-harming behaviors, and self esteem issues.

As a clinical psychologist with more than 10 years of specialized training and experience, I am dedicated to providing effective and research-based approaches to treatment with genuine compassion, empathy, and care. It is my goal to help empower you to change your life by using treatment and assessment techniques designed for both common life stressors and complex mental health conditions. It is my belief that creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment is essential for my client's growth and I work hard to provide an environment with which my clients feel safe to challenge themselves and grow.

Imagine a ghost who is haunting a person when they are most vulnerable to take control of them. This is the way trauma shows up in our lives. It slowly reveals itself and every encounter is scarier than the previous. Furthermore, no one else can validate this experience because they cannot see the ghost at first, which leads the person to feeling alone, isolated, and vulnerable. I can come along side with you as you overcome this ghost. You can overcome your trauma in therapy with a safe and supportive environment to take on whatever it is that is haunting you.

Whether you need support through a challenging life transition, you hope to address recent and/or past trauma, or you'd like to understand yourself better, I will bring an engaged and empathic attitude to our work together. I work with a trauma informed lens, and draw from various theories and approaches including but not limited to Psychodynamic, Attachment, Ego State Therapy/Parts Work, and Cognitive Behavioral. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. I'm LGBTQIA+ and social justice allied, and have experience with & enjoy working with folks with different backgrounds from my own.

I take an active approach to psychotherapy, shaping my input to the needs of my clients. I conceptualize mental health issues from a holistic perspective: emotional, social, medical/physical, and spiritual. I play a variety of different roles with people: listener, teacher, problem-solver, coach, encourager, and fellow-struggler with the complexities of life. I specialize in helping people overcome difficulties with depression, anxiety and stress, compulsive disorders, ADD / ADHD , relationship problems, work problems, and related spiritual concerns. I am familiar with psychotropic medications, am a supporter of recovery work, and have training in a variety of different psychotherapeutic modalities.
