The most important thing in working together is building the foundation of a trusting relationship, where you can feel safe to talk openly. You know your life better than anyone else does. Therefore, we will hold great respect for your self-wisdom. Together with my professional knowledge and experience, we can work to help you discover how to live life in a way that is most fitting for you. NOTE: a professional relationship will not be formed until we both agree to do so, and only during/after an initial meeting. Any prior contact is for informational purposes only.

I specialize in working with individuals and families to overcome neurodevelopmental and life-adjustment challenges using a strength-based approach. My areas of expertise include executive functioning issues such as ADHD, moodiness and depression, and anxiety resulting from high academic pressure, life stress, or divorce. I also have a strong background in addressing technology-related issues, including healthy-mind balance, boundary setting, and mindfulness practices for relaxation and increased frustration tolerance.

As a parent, we know our children better than anyone else. Even so, there are times when behavioral, emotional, and cognitive challenges don’t seem to make sense. You may be noticing these problems interfere with areas such as academic success, relationships, and self-esteem. My goal is to help discover areas of strength and of potential growth by providing psychological assessments for children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I use comprehensive, research-based psychological evaluations with a therapeutic approach and strive to ensure testing concludes with a solid understanding of the issues, process, and next steps.
