| español I believe that psychological and psychiatric treatment ought to be a balance between acquiring practical, useful, tangible skills for enhancing mood and general mental health as well as an exploration of our existential drives and dilemmas.
I provide therapy tailored to your unique needs. I will work collaboratively with you to make lasting positive changes in your life.
Additionally, I believe that general psychological testing and neuropsychological testing can be therapeutic and positive experiences. I have an extensive background in all forms of psychological testing and assessment and take pride in making it an easy and understandable process.
Yo soy bilingüe y ofrezco mis servicios en español y/o inglés. I am bilingual and provide services in Spanish and/or English.
