Child Therapists in Downtown, Charlottesville, VA

I am a clinical psychologist with experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy in outpatient and inpatient settings. My areas of interest include working with couples, parents of adolescents, high-stress families, and women with trauma histories. I enjoy working with couples and families to help them find new ways of communicating with each other and their children . I provide comprehensive psychological assessments for children and adults using cognitive, achievement, and personality measures. I aim to make assessments a useful addendum to therapy, psychiatric care, and improved classroom and home functioning.

In my practice, I do therapy with families and individuals of all ages. I also conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations of children , adolescents, and adults, including testing for learning disorders, ADHD, developmental disorders (e.g., Asperger's Disorder and autism), anxiety and mood disorders (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder), and personality disorders. Through my evaluations, I try to help individuals (or in many cases, children 's parents and teachers) to understand what is interfering with them living a more successful and happy life. My goal is not to merely identify 'problems,' but also to map solutions via concrete and individualized recommendations.

I specialize in family, couples, and individual therapy for children and adults. I believe that, within the context of a supportive relationship, people can understand their problems in new ways and learn skills towards leading healthier and more fulfilling lives. I utilize a strengths-based approach that incorporates cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and systemic interventions. People see the most change when doctors, psychologists, teachers, and other players are working together. Thus, with your permission, I consult with others in order to better understand the problem and provide solutions that expand beyond the therapy room. When appropriate, I will be your advocate.

Hello. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with teenagers and young adults struggling with school issues, depression, anxiety, addiction, rule-breaking behaviors, and family issues. I also specialize in working with children identified with developmental disorders and their families. My goal is to help my clients reach their maximum potential at work, school, and at home– even if it feels hard. For those that have been resistant to therapy in the past (specifically teenage boys), my humor, creativity, and relaxed nature tend to help my clients feel more relaxed and open about therapy.

I feel the client is the expert on themselves, thus, I believe in a client centered approach. My passion is guiding those with trauma to heal whether the trauma is a simple trauma or complex. I utilize various modalities depending on the individual and the circumstances. I have treated severe trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, dual diagnosed patients, families, couples, and other client centered issues.

I am a generalist clinical psychologist. I see clients of all ages from toddlers to adolescents and adults. I have been in private practice in Charlottesville, Virginia for 25 years, providing insight-oriented individual therapy, family therapy, and play therapy.
