Excellent psychotherapy offers a deep appreciation for an individual's thoughts, emotions and wishes. I try to establish a collaborative and interactive relationship with my clients. We work on trying to resolve areas of immediate distress as well as trying to understand how the past may be effecting your current situation.

I am here to help you identify the source of the problem through psychological testing. I test both children and adults and can help rule out whether the anxiety or ADHD symptoms are keeping you (or your child) from achieving both academic and personal growth. Moreover, at times, children have learning disorders that impede them from growing. By having your child tested, if applicable, your child can receive an IEP and extra time at school. There are many ways that psychoeducational testing can help you or your child. Call us for more information.
