My background has allowed me to build strong relationships with private and public schools so it is usually recommended that we collaborate and work as a team for the benefit of the child.
My focus is on psychoeducational and psychological testing for children, teenagers and young adults who are having academic, emotional, social or behavioral difficulties. The first step in any assessment is establishing a strong relationship with the family and/or child to ensure valid and reliable results. Assessments are individualized for each client and consist of but are not limited to standardized tests, self-report, parent and teacher checklists, direct observations, formal and informal interviews and gathering of background information.

Throughout the years of experience assisting clients with individual, couples, and family struggles, I have provided therapeutic services for children, teens, adults, and seniors. When it comes to clients, the feeling of wanting to do more as a therapist provides constant motivation to sponge information that will benefit clients while in my personalized care. As we face daily challenges, I've provided therapeutic services for those dealing with mild to severe mental health issues, along with the addiction population.

I have experience with children and adolescents dealing with behavioral difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and social skills challenges.
I see therapy as a collaborative process every step of the way- from goal setting through achieving goals. I believe that each individual, couple, and family has a different way to relating to the world, and I treat each client based on their individual needs. We work together to identify strengths, and focus on what we know is already working. Then, together, we face challenges and build new skills to accomplish goals. I use therapeutic techniques that are designed to meet those goals (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-CBT, Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy-DBT).
