Psychologist
Usual Wait Time for First Appointment / Available Slots: 1-week Flexible scheduling
I have been in private practice in Charlottesville for over 30 years. I work with all age groups, from teenagers to 90-somethings, but I especially enjoy working with students because so many important issues come to the forefront at this time of life. I provide a supportive environment where you will be deeply respected. I strive to be interactive and solution-focused within the context of a deep understanding of your unique history, circumstances, needs, and characteristics.
