I have been in private practice for over 20 years. I enjoy working with children, families, and adults in helping empowerment to overcome difficult periods in life.

I can assist in evaluations for learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Neuropsychological deficits, developmental delays, behavior disorders, sexual disorders, Forensic (Competency, Psychosexual risk), school evaluations, Spanish-speaking evals, and more.

Everyday, think as you wake up - today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. Being human isn’t always easy and I am here to help you navigate that path gently. I have over 25 years experience and have worked in many diverse settings: in group homes, ADHD clinics, child and family centers, community mental health centers, hospitals, inpatient psychiatric clinics, colleges (both as a Professor of Psychology and as a Counselor). With this experience I am confident that I can help you navigate through whatever it is that brought you here.

In 2020, I opened a private practice. I was blessed it grew to full capacity but dealt with sadness of turning people away due to no space. Frequently people shared their difficulties with finding therapy. I am tired of people and families, who are suffering emotionally not getting the help they need. So, I put together a group of several skilled clinicians. We operate by providing a therapy environment that is confidential and emotionally safe. We’re dedicated to making people feel comfortable and understood when discussing the most sensitive issues. Our goal is to ensure support that is empathetic and non-judgmental.
