You can't seem to figure out how you got here, but despite this, you want to make things work.

My clinical focuses are psychological and psychoeducational assessment in school and clinical settings for intellectual disabilities, gifted status, learning disabilities, ADHD, emotional and personality disturbances, and adaptive functioning deficits. I provide individual, family, and couples therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, divorce, grief, sexual confusion, social skills deficits, behavior/school problems, and trauma.

I believe that the first important step to any relationship is trust. Establishing rapport with my patient is the first thing I focus on at the onset of treatment to ensure my patient is comfortable. Whatever the presenting problem is, we can work together through it if Trust has been established and protected. Only then can the healing process actually begin. After that, the rest is easy!

I am a fellow traveler on the adventurous, mysterious journey of life. On this journey, we are faced with obstacles we must overcome to reach our goals. When faced with an obstacle, we have several options. Ignore it and pretend it's not there (denial), turn around and go back (avoidance), say we are not quite ready to deal with it and wait for the "perfect" time (procrastinate), or, we can strive to confront it and persevere. Join me on a journey to learn the tools necessary to gracefully and courageously overcome problems and deal with obstacles head on.
