We all experience moments where our emotions may feel overwhelming, managing stress becomes more challenging, and we may even find ourselves feeling stuck as to what comes next. Throughout my work with adults, teens, and children, I have seen how psychotherapy has improved their moods, relationships, and self-confidence, leaving them feeling more connected and satisfied in their daily lives. Therapy is a space where you can begin to explore yourself, while doing so within a relationship that is validating, supportive, and centers your goals and needs.
Healing in the context of a caring relationship is important, and I work to create a therapy space that is safe and welcomes authenticity. Therapy works best when it’s collaborative and strength-based, incorporating your personal culture and working towards goals that help you feel relief in symptoms and result in more lasting changes in all areas of life.
As a clinical psychologist, I also have specialized training in psychological assessment, including evaluations for ADHD, learning disorders, personality and socio-emotional functioning, and clarification of diagnosis. Please feel free to contact me for a brief consultation or to schedule your first therapy or assessment appointment.
