Accepting new clients as of 2/28/2023! Hello & welcome! I am passionate about utilizing psychotherapy and psychodiangostic assessment to help people discover and embrace their most authentic selves. I believe that a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship is the foundation for creating a safe space for you to increase your insight and flourish. I work with children and teens who are looking to better understand themselves, increase relationship satisfaction, heal from painful or traumatic experiences, increase their emotional regulation, process life transitions, or pursue a more meaningful future.

I deeply believe that when there is a member in the family who is struggling, the whole family is adversely impacted. Issues that may affect a family member include anger, anxiety, depression, sibling or parental conflicts, a learning difference or a past traumatic experience. Other difficult issues include individuals and families dealing with separation, divorce, co-parenting and other situations where families are raising children between two homes. I will help you to develop the understanding, skills and strategies needed to better equip yourself and your family to deal with particular circumstances or stressful transitions.

Have you even felt powerless? Maybe you’ve felt it in a relationship, or in your family, or at your job. Maybe sometimes you feel powerless against your own mind. I believe that there’s a deep well of power that exists inside you. All you have to do is find it. I would be honored to take that journey of self-discovery with you. You are far more powerful than you know, and I hope to help you see it.

Are you worried your child may have ADHD? Autism? Do you think your child may have learning differences that is making school more difficult? Have you ever thought that there was something going on with your child or teen that you just could not put a finger on? Psychological and education testing may be the answer. Give us a call and we are happy to give you a free phone consultation to determine if testing may be right for your child or teen.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Has a depressive episode led you to feel deeply alone? I provide a supportive outlet for children, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, or anger issues. I view my therapy approach as a collaborative team effort with you (and sometimes your family unit) to work together to improve the quality of life for everyone involved. Through empathy and therapeutic humor, I strive to create a safe place in which you can grow.

As a licensed psychologist, I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults, specializing in the assessment and treatment of depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, learning difficulties, social dysfunction, and trauma. I use various evidence-based practices in treatment, primarily employing psychodynamic techniques and drawing upon cognitive-behavioral strategies as necessary. I believe in an integrative approach to therapy, one in which treatment is uniquely tailored to best address the needs of the individual or family.

All too often, children and young adults are not given enough credit for how challenging this time of their lives can be. My ideal clients are school-aged children or teens working through life transitions. Maybe something critical is happening for them or maybe they are just trying to understand their dynamic emotions. I support children/teens and their families in navigating life's stressors. Further, as an educational consultant, I help families investigate and solidify the right educational environment for their children. School fit is crucial and I am their partner in navigating a pathway to success.

If you are experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiety, depression, or just need help gathering your thoughts - then look no further.
