My practice focuses on helping to heal relationships. This starts with learning how to communicate more effectively & taking ownership of what needs to change in order for the relationship to progress. Common communication errors are at the root of most arguments. I can help you to identify your triggers and teach you and your partner how to respect one another so everyone feels heard. I will teach you how to set & achieve small goals each week, that will positively change your lives. I provide straightforward advice & will help you & your partner or you alone until your partner is ready to take the first BIG step into therapy.

As a pediatric neuropsychologist and clinical psychologist, my goal is to determine why a child, adolescent or young adult is struggling to meet their developmental goals. The obstacles to their success may include medical, neurological, developmental, learning, behavioral or psychological conditions. In some cases it means providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to a child and/or parent consultation. In others it means using neuropsychological and psychological tests to see what is getting in their way and how that happens.

Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and relational. What if you could find freedom from feelings of anxiety and depression. People are naturally motivated toward healing and recovery, and that an alliance with a supportive therapist, with whom you feel safe and comfortable, can facilitate this process. There is no template or single method that I use in my practice. Instead, we will determine the pace and style that is best for you. Throughout our work together, I will be open to and enthusiastic about the feedback you provide about the treatment. I will share my thoughts and assessments, with room for discussion.
