Many of us feel trapped in our anxiety, depression, obsessions or just our circumstances. Often our past traumas, our habits, or our beliefs seem heavy and impossible to change. Learning to free ourselves from dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors can feel overwhelming to do on our own. I tend to take a therapeutic approach that is tailored to each person, but the goal is always similar: We work to clarify what kind of lifestyle and belief system works best for you, and then strive to live in alignment through more authentic behavioral and thinking patterns. Call or text the number listed :)

I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years of consultation, assessment, and psychotherapy experience.
We develop our interpersonal styles when we are very young. Moving into adulthood, people tend to keep doing what they’ve always done – even if it has stopped working. As a result, they may feel depressed, anxious, and blocked from having the rich life experiences that they crave. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with older adolescents and adults who are struggling in relationships – with parents, employers, friends, or intimate partners - and do not know why or what to do about it. My aim is to help people (1) develop an awareness of their interpersonal styles and (2) find ways to make adaptive change in their lives.

I approach therapy primarily from a relational-cultural perspective, which acknowledges healthy relationships as key to emotional and psychological functioning. My clients often seek therapy for help with loneliness/emotional disconnection from others, relationship/dating anxiety, or relational distress because of personal identity changes. I strive to help my clients gain insight into the dynamics in their life that contribute to feelings of fear and sadness. I also help clients move away from avoidant ways of dealing with stress in their lives and toward strategies that increase self-esteem and provide their lives with meaning.

FAQ - Psychological Testing and Evaluation
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.
Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.
Who conducts psychological evaluations and assessments?
Psychologists are the primary professionals who perform psychological evaluations and assessments. Such psychologists hold a doctorate-level degree (PsyD or PhD) in the field of psychology and thus have extensive knowledge of the diagnostic criteria for various psychological conditions. In some cases, clients may seek a psychiatric assessment—typically conducted by a Medical Doctor (MD) specializing in Psychiatry or a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)—which are more focused on potential medication management for mental health conditions.
How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.
How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
