I work with adults and teens facing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, OCD, grief/loss, and significant life transitions. The modern world is full of disruptions, from life changes (divorce, death, marriage, puberty, moving) to career changes (changing jobs, retiring, burnout) to internal changes in personal or spiritual beliefs.

"Oh shit," you think. "I did it again." You snapped and exploded at someone you love. You said yes - when you really meant no - just so you wouldn't rock the boat. You replay, over and over, the stupid thing you said to the cashier yesterday. You got stressed out, overwhelmed, and did the Thing that you promised yourself you'd never do again. Regardless, the story remains the same: I am the bad guy. I am weak. I'm not good enough. I don't belong. I am unlovable. Do you ever tell yourself these stories? Here's the secret: We all do.

I remember being in high-school; the world seemed both exciting and overwhelming. What I love about working with teens the most is that I get to witness their impressive resilience, refreshing sense of humor, and inspiring idealism. Adolescence can be a turbulent time for young people and their families. High school students struggle with the effects of social media, body image, fatigue, friendship issues, academic pressures; they don't always know how to reach out for support. The most valuable thing that I can offer is my unconditional positive regard for my teen clients and their families.

Psychological assessment can provide valuable information for individuals seeking to gain information about their social/emotional, behavioral, intellectual, and academic/work functioning.

Testing can also be used help determine a diagnosis, guide treatment, and offer recommendations to improve overall psychological functioning.
