Seeking help for yourself or a child can be daunting and requires courage. I want to partner with you as you work to gain the life that you envision, help open possibilities and promote a mindset of strength, resilience and competence to tackle what may be getting in your way. As a Licensed Psychologist, with 20 years of experience as a school psychologist and counselor, I am dedicated to helping others understand and potentially change behavior and mindsets for improved functioning in settings, including work and school, and in relationships with others.
I specialize in anxiety, parenting, school difficulties, depression, and issues related to racial or ethnic identity. I provide therapy for clients ranging from childhood through adulthood, admissions testing, and emotional screenings.
With almost 20 years of experience, I bring compassion, hope, and a belief in clients. I encourage them to access their personal power to navigate life events, promote growth and attain goals. Using techniques that focus on shifting behavior, thoughts and feelings, and using mindfulness practices, issues can be resolved toward desired change.
