I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of concerns including feeling angry, anxious, depressed, or inhibited. My work also includes helping those who may have less specific symptoms, but notice that they may get in their own way of achieving what they want, interpersonally, professionally, or scholastically. I also have considerable experience working with individuals with a traumatic history, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Within my practice, I also offer child, adolescent, and adult psychological testing, including emotional, cognitive, and academic assessment.
I believe that patterns of behavior that are beyond our conscious awareness often hinder our ability to achieve what we want. I work with individuals to develop insight into these patterns of behavior so that they can make better choices, feel emotional relief, and ultimately live freer, joyful, successful lives.
Please feel free to call me for an initial consultation. I will try to determine the best course of treatment for you, and you should feel free to consider whether you feel comfortable working with me. If not, I would be happy to refer you to another therapist.
