Are you feeling stressed-out, anxious, or depressed? Are you going through changes in your life and having a difficult time coping? Maybe you are having difficulties in your relationship or have recently gone through a breakup/divorce? Do you have a child who is struggling with peers or behaviors? Perhaps you are struggling with a loss and need support. If you are looking for a nonjudgmental place to express yourself, I would love to work with you. I can help you identify your strengths, develop solutions, and improve your quality of life.

I have extensive experience working with all ages and a wide range of difficulties. I will collaborate with you to quickly meet your treatment goals, while incorporating the most effective approaches. Through guidance and support, I can empower you to make positive changes in your life.

If you or your child are having difficulties academically, emotionally, or behaviorally, I provide thorough psychological evaluations that can identify learning problems, ADHD, giftedness, and more. I will provide customized treatment recommendations to help you or your child meet full potential. I look forward to helping you create the life that you want.
