My clinical practice focuses on working with children, adolescent , adults, couples, and families with a variety of concerns ranging from adjustment reactions to severe mental illness. I also provide psychological testing for differential diagnosis, psychoeducational evaluations, and cognitive/executive functioning difficulties.

I practice from a systems perspective which means I will take the time to get to know you, as well as, take the time to understand what is happening around you. This allows me to begin to understand the multiple dimensions that make you the person you are today. We will work together to explore the areas of your life you want to learn more about and potentially shift. We will also work together to set goals to make those changes possible. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy).
