Welcome to my practice, where I am dedicated to providing compassionate support for individuals, couples, and children navigating emotional, social, or adjustment challenges. Whether rooted in depression, anxiety, OCD, or complex trauma, I offer a diverse range of therapeutic interventions tailored to the unique needs of each client. Collaboratively, we develop and monitor treatment plans to ensure they align with your specific goals and preferences. Treatment modalities include CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, and play therapy.
Specializing in psychoeducational testing, I assess ADHD, ASD, learning disabilities, giftedness, depression, OCD, and anxiety. This comprehensive approach aims to identify potential impacts on academic or vocational success. Subsequently, a plan of action can be recommended for school support or private counseling and/or executive functioning.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, as a couple, or your children, my commitment is to establish a safe environment where you are treated with respect as a valued partner in your journey toward increased wellness. Explore my approach to see if it fits your unique needs. Let's navigate the path to positive change and personal growth together.
