Making the decision to seek therapy takes strength and is an act of vulnerability. The therapeutic relationship is a very personal and individualized partnership. Successful therapy requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter that is usually not discussed anywhere but the therapist's office. As a psychologist, my primary objective is to understand your present challenges and help you build a rich and fulfilling life, enhancing one's mental health and overall quality of life.

Psychological evaluations (also referred to as ‘testing’ or ‘assessment’) can help children, adolescents, and adults better understand their behavior, functioning, cognition, mood, and personality. Evaluations are likely warranted in the presence of suspected ADHD; difficulties with attention, concentration, and/or hyperactivity; persistent academic difficulties (e.g., reading, writing, math); social, behavioral, and/or emotional difficulties; inability to engage in real-life skills (e.g., grooming, getting dressed, etc.); and/or psychological symptoms that have not responded to treatment (e.g., paranoia, severe anxiety, etc.).

We offer high quality: Psychodiagostic Testing (to clarify diagnoses), Neuropsychological Testing (to provide insight into cognitive functioning), Psychoeducational Testing (to understand academic functioning), and Therapeutic Assessment (to help with self-development, relationships and/or psychotherapy). Our assessments can be used to generate academic recommendations to support education, provide a roadmap to supercharge individual therapy, and create actionable insights to guide effective therapy, school/work and relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an extensive background in research, clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, my clinical approach is informed by empirically validated treatments and techniques, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Like using psychotherapy outcome research to inform my clinical work, I employ a methodological approach to disentangling the various biological, social, and environmental factors that may be contributing to your current and past difficulties. My approach is intensely collaborative and transparent in nature.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I use various styles of therapy to instill the most effective outcome for my patients. I have experience with children, families, and adults. My experience entails working with patients with anxiety, family issues, trauma, social issues, depression and life changing events. Oftentimes, it can be challenging to identify ways to overcome life's obstacles when you are currently experiencing them. With the help of an experienced Social Worker, you can begin to process these obstacles from a holistic approach and create realistic and attainable goals that would help you enhance your life.

At some point along the way, we all struggle with something. Family, career, relationships, depression, anxiety---something---and we need help to get unstuck and move towards living a more satisfying and authentic life. This is where psychotherapy comes in. I truly believe in its power to bring about personal transformation, help us better understand ourselves, and work through life's difficulties. Life isn't easy, and often, seeking help isn't either. But finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is the courageous first step.

Looking for a therapist may seem like a daunting task, but it does not have to be.
