I am a clinical psychologist with The Kingsbury Wellness & Learning Group, a nonprofit organization providing exceptional psychological services to children and adults. I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents and young adults struggling with behavioral, emotional regulation, and social challenges. I provide psychotherapy and consultation to help individuals and families navigate anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, mood disorders, ADHD, school and learning problems, and behavioral concerns.
I believe in using individual’s unique strengths to overcome past failures and develop new skills that foster personal growth, self-confidence, and independence. I have nearly a decade of past experience working in a special education setting, I am well-versed in adapting therapy interventions for those with special education needs.
In addition to my role as a therapist, I am also the Director of Psychotherapy at Kingsbury. If you or someone in your family is experiencing difficulty navigating life's many demands, I can help.
