Hi- I look forward to meeting you! I am a licensed psychologist, published author in 3 books, and founder and director of New Life Psychology Group. Although I primarily work with adults, I also work with some youth. For adults, I specialize in life coaching, depression, and anxiety related issues. For children, I specialize in foster/adoption, behavior disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and depression. I also provide Christian-based counseling. Furthurmore, I also provide psychological testing. I enjoy working with adults and youth with depression and anxiety. I use a cognitive-behavioral framework along with a solution-focused approach. .
I enjoy working with individuals with depression and anxiety .I have a special heart for working with parents, especially those who foster and adopt. I specialize in incorporating one's faith into the treatment. My most recent book is called "Trauma-Informed Foster and Adoptive Parenting: Methods for Managing Meltdowns, Mishaps, and Maladaptive Behaviors"
New Life Psychology Group specializes in using empirically based psychological principles in a Christian framework. I also enjoy working with individuals with a secular approach for those who do not wish to incorporate their faith into their treatment. I look forward to helping you reach your personal goals as you work toward your emotional health/healing.
