I understand it is a big step in life’s journey choosing therapy and/or an evaluation to identify what is holding you back from being your ideal self.

I am a fully licensed clinical psychologist with 25+ years of experience providing individual therapy and couples therapy. In addition, i have extensive experience in doing school based evaluations and clinical evaluations exploring such things as ADHD, Learning issues, and mood disorder to aid in your academic, occupational, social and personal functioning. My clinical therapeutic specialties include assisting clients with issues of trauma, codependency, depression, anxiety, grief, and identity. My therapeutic style utilizes a combination of cognitive-behavioral, systems, storytelling, and psychodynamic therapy. As each individual comes to me with individualized concerns, I also create an individual treatment plan for each client I work with. Most of my clients would describe my style as active and engaged, allowing for authentic feedback throughout the therapeutic practice.
