Hi, I specialize in psychotherapy and have worked in the field of mental health for over 10 years. I am currently accepting new clients as of 8/7/2024. If you are looking for a therapist, there are two things I want you to know:

Are you concerned your child is demonstrating delays in milestones, such as speech and motor skills? Is your child demonstrating symptoms of poor attention/concentration, difficulties establishing peer relationships, difficulty learning or is not progressing in school as expected? Does your child have a history of a head injury or any other medical concerns that caused a decline/loss of skills? If any of the above are a concern, then perhaps, a neuropsychological evaluation would assist in understanding your child's current functioning and specific strengths and weaknesses. Please feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation .

I conduct comprehensive assessments for ADHD/ADD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Math Disorder, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, and other processing deficits that can affect learning and academic performance. I also have unique experience with medical conditions that affect learning, such as premature birth, in utero drug exposure, head injury, seizure disorders, and genetic syndromes. I focus on discovering your, or your child's, strengths and weaknesses so that the best mode of learning is clear. I also make recommendations for home and school interventions and accommodations; that is, I help you with a plan of action.

Sometimes life experiences leave us feeling overwhelmed or hopeless and we find that the ways we usually cope are not helping. Sometimes our personal journey involves difficult, seemingly impossible crises or losses. At times like these, we often try to manage emotions with activities that help us feel better for a short time but then the cost starts to outweigh the benefits. I believe we all go through times like this when we are tired of struggling. The path towards recovering from these experiences seems more doable when we are able to find a renewed motivation and clear goals towards healthy change.
