Life can get or feel messy sometimes, especially when we encounter experiences that leave us feeling bewildered, overwhelmed, or as if we're merely surviving rather than thriving. It's during these moments that the guidance of a skilled psychological professional can become invaluable. My practice offers a place where individuals are invited sit and engage in one-on-one conversations, providing time to be fully heard, explore their experiences in depth, and gain some insights.
As a licensed psychologist, I administer comprehensive psychological assessments, such as IQ evaluations, ADHD diagnostics, and pre-surgical psychological evaluations. Testing enhances diagnostic clarification and can play a pivotal role in enhancing treatment outcomes. Specifically, for ADHD, diagnosis through testing can refine treatment strategies.
I work with young adults and adults who feel stuck in cycles of pain, sleep disruption, anxiety, mood struggles, trauma, or disordered eating. My approach is body-aware and experiential—helping you listen to signals, build regulation, and restore a sense of steadiness and choice. I invite you to reach out.
