My practice is strength based and works with adults and adolescents to resolve issues associated with addiction (alcoholism, drug use, internet, etc.), depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationships, interpersonal / family conflict, loss, and life changes (divorce, death, etc.). The treatment focuses on looking at the entire system and provides a sustainable, researched and proven path to a better, happier life. Not just treating the problem, but identifying the issues and providing the tools to know who you are and what you need to become the person you were meant to be.

Do you feel stuck in survival mode—avoiding connection, overachieving to feel worthy, or struggling with push-pull patterns that come from attachment wounds? Maybe relationships feel unstable, or you have trouble trusting others while also fearing abandonment. You might feel overwhelmed, highly sensitive, or unsure how to set boundaries without guilt. These reactions make sense when trauma has shaped how you relate to yourself and the people in your life. I help clients understand these patterns, reduce overwhelm, and build healthier, more secure connections.

The areas which I tend to focus on in my practice include relationship dynamics, mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma. Regarding relationships, I work with couples dynamics, family of origin issues, and unhealthy patterns of interpersonal functioning. One area I work with a great deal is narcissistic abuse, whether it was a relationship with a parent or partner. I believe it is important to help clients develop coping skills in order to promote mental and emotional health and wellbeing. Additionally, I think it can be important to help clients modify thoughts which may keep them in unhealthy patterns of functioning.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to identify the problem(s) or roadblocks, figure out a solution, and reach your goal(s). Sometimes skills and practice are needed to change the current way of doing things, and other times information or deeper self-exploration is helpful. I work with both long-term and short-term issues.

Testing and Evaluation Therapists
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.

Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.

How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.

How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
