I believe that every person is whole and perfect! Yet with life, things happen. Every experience and interaction has an impact on your physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual being. Regardless of the weight of the experience, addressing, moving through, and releasing the hold it has in your mind and body, is where healing begins to occur.

Are you feeling like you're stuck in a rut? Maybe the holiday season isn't bringing you as much joy as you hoped, or perhaps you're feeling that you've lost yourself in trying to please those around you. Our relationships with ourselves and others have a direct impact on our overall mental health and wellbeing, and it's hard to feel like our best selves when we are overwhelmed and exhausted. These feelings are especially common this time of year - days are short, stress is high, and to do lists are long. If you're feeling burnt out and looking for a recharge, I'd love to help you work through this process.

Anxiety is a b!tch - the heart racing, chest tightening, skin crawling, keeps you up all night kind. If you grew up in an emotionally or physically unsafe environment, been in inconsistent and unstable relationships, and live on edge with the fear of never reaching enoughness, then you get it. You find yourself being on guard, overachieving, people pleasing, and quieting your voice as a means to survive with the least amount of damage. You minimize your experiences and often say “I’m fine” when really you are living in your own personal hell and trauma is the prison keeper.

As parents/guardians, we want to see our children succeed, no matter what it takes. When our children struggle, we struggle as well. These struggles can lead to frustration, especially when we are not able to pinpoint the root cause. Too often, when children present with complex behaviors, and/or varying levels of abilities/intellect, they are mis-understood, or even mis-diagnosed. If you are feeling lost as a parent, are experiencing challenges navigating the school system, or question the narrative regarding your child, please know you are not alone. I am here to help.

The emphasis of my clinical work is in pediatric assessments including neuropsychological evaluations. I specialize in providing individually-tailored, extensive examinations of symptoms, development, and functioning in order to better understand each child or adolescent. Thus, the goal is not to arrive at a standardized diagnosis, but to achieve a deeper insight into each person's distinct biopsychosocial makeup. The most enjoyable aspect of assessment work is being able to provide children and families with clarifying "ah ha" moments, in order to help them make better sense and successes of their lives.
