I provide assessment batteries that can include the following measures: cognitive, neurocognitive, behavioral and emotional, developmental, academic, and personality.
Self-awareness and self-understanding are important for success in the therapeutic journey. A thorough, strength-based, and holistic psychological assessment can provide young people and their families with much desired clarity, validation, and direction. A psychological assessment can inform school-based and academic intervention, psychological treatment, and pharmacological intervention as needed. Many families have youth who have struggled through school, are overwhelmed by stress, and/or have had interpersonal conflict. I help families make sense of their child or teen's unique circumstances and get them the right support.

I provide mental health treatment for adults and teens in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, behavioral problems, and adjustment to life changes. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and mental health difficulties, ranging from mild life adjustments to severe mental illness. I strive to help clients to identify and cope with internal and external obstacles that keep them from having the kind of life they want to have.

I also incorporate cognitive- behavioral techniques to help you.
I specialize in working with individuals dealing with depression and anxiety, particularly those facing uncertainty in navigating new situations or resolving long-standing challenges. Many people struggle with relationships—whether with family, friends, or colleagues—or feel stuck when trying to achieve personal goals. Issues such as grief, loss, and persistent stress can compound these difficulties, and the strategies that once helped may no longer work, leading to feelings of frustration and self-defeat. As a counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can openly explore your concerns.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
