As a Licensed School Psychologist and Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, I specialize in providing comprehensive psychological assessments for children and adolescents. My expertise includes educational testing, such as IQ, academic achievement, and behavioral assessments, to support students' learning and development. I also offer therapy for individuals, families, and couples, working with clients of all ages to address emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges in a supportive, compassionate environment.
I provide a comprehensive approach tailored to your unique needs. Whether through therapy, psycho-educational evaluations, or skill-building, I help uncover strengths and address challenges. Together, we’ll work on improving coping strategies, fostering self-awareness, and creating actionable goals to build resilience and enhance emotional well-being.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment. While I can’t guarantee that all the challenges that brought you to therapy will be resolved, I can promise to be here with you—to offer support, do my best to understand you, & help you understand yourself. Together, we will work to identify patterns, clarify your goals, & move toward them with intention.
