As a Therapist I specialize in Children and Teens, Trauma, and Groups.
Growing up I was often called Geek or Nerd because I loved Harry Potter, video games, comic books, and running around with a tree branch in my hand and a sheet wrapped around me like a cloak pretending to cast spells to defend Hogwarts! In short, I was and still am a nerd with a vivid imagination! I strongly believe that everyone is a Nerd about something, and I strive to bring that into the therapeutic space. To me, being a nerd is to have passion, imagination, and connection to something that makes you feel authentically you.

Lee does not seek to identify “what’s wrong” with a child.
Many parents/caregivers have questions regarding their child’s development, behavior, or academic performance, while others are seeking guidance and support. Some parents/caregivers are referred by a teacher, pediatrician, medical specialist, or psychotherapist, but are uncertain as to why their child needs a neuropsychological evaluation. Regardless of what brought your family to our practice, feel comfort in knowing that you have come to the right place and that our team is dedicated to helping you reach your goals.

I specialize in children and adolescents, high functioning autism spectrum.
My clients, be it child or adult, come to me wishing to feel and function better. Because I work with a range of issues, that always looks different from patient to patient. They are looking for more peace in the house, peace of heart, better friendships, better school or work performance. Mostly they are looking for someone who will "get them" and provide a safe environment to explore and grow. Younger children can rarely point to the difficulty they experience, but adolescents and adults often know what they need, even if it is hard to verbalize at first. It is my job to help them clarify and then develop.

Only by harnessing our strengths can we be whole people.
