My approach to assessment stems from my training in child development, brain-behavior relationships, neurodevelopmental disorders, pediatric psychology, and child/adolescent mental health.
I am a staff neuropsychologist at Trinity Psychological Services LLC. I work with children ages 4 through 21 who demonstrate a range of neurodevelopmental (e.g., ADHD, learning disabilities, language disorders, etc.), psychiatric (e.g., anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, etc.), or medical concerns (e.g., diabetes, congenital heart defects, neurofibromatosis, childhood cancers, etc.). The goals of my assessments are to help children further understand themselves, identify evidence-based supports for children/families, and help parents/young adults prioritize services. My recommendations are tailored to your child's needs.

As a Developmental Psychologist, in clinical practice, I am experienced in treating people of all ages; children, adolescents, adults and seniors.
In understanding that individuals in pain or having a particular challenge in life may make only one attempt at reaching out for help, I strive to welcome and set at ease every one who contacts me. Most therapy patients are ordinary people that have hit a bump in the road of life and cannot get past it on their own.
My commitment, through goal directed therapy, is to help those people return to their optimal level of coping with the sometimes mild, sometimes severe challenges that life brings their way and guide them back to a sense of well being.

I specialize in assessing and treating children, adolescents, and adults who have been victims of trauma in the form of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
A key ingredient to successful therapy is having a strong therapeutic relationship. To foster this relationship I am open and honest with my client's and create an environment that allow the people I work with to feel cared for, safe, and free from judgement. My main treatment method is cognitive behavioral therapy however I take an integrative approach to treatment. I consider the individual needs of my clients, I help them regulate their emotions, manage stressors, and function effectively in their daily lives. I work with my clients collaboratively to develop interventions and coping strategies that work for them.

Being a parent is a gift. However, some days we can find ourselves wondering if we are doing our best by our children, our partners and even ourselves. With life's demands - work, household responsibilities, other activities - one can find themselves feeling as if they are stretched thin. Stress that is left unchecked can run the risk of escalating to a severe presentation of anxiety or depression. This can in turn affect the way we parent and resolve family conflict. As a Mother and Wife I bring this relateability to our conversations.

As a clinical psychologist, I have devoted my career to supporting the social-emotional development of children and adolescents. While the specific focus of therapy is individualized according to each child’s needs, much of the work I do centers around helping individuals develop self-awareness, healthy relationships, problem solving skills, and the ability to identify, regulate, and express emotions adaptively. I also regularly collaborate with parents to identify and address patterns of behavior and communicate with their children more effectively.

Psychotherapy is a practice of deep listening and understanding. I help people develop insight into their troubles and look into habitual patterns that may create obstacles to their life goals. Together, we identify these patterns, explore feelings, and put effective coping skills into practice.
When working with children, my approach invites the family in. Parent coaching, which involves a neurobiological understanding, and psychodynamic insight are integral. Through play therapy I help children discover ways to communicate their experience. The purpose is to establish a connection that encourages growth and the sense that children have a positive impact in their world.
