Making a difference, one family at a time.
As a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, I have dedicated my career to helping children and families overcome various challenges, including anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, and mood disorders. With a background in child and adolescent assessment and therapy, I've had the privilege of working with children and young adults, providing them with the support they need to thrive.
Services
At my practice, I offer a range of services designed to meet the unique needs of each family. From consultation and psychological evaluation to individual and family therapy, I strive to provide comprehensive support for children and adolescents facing various challenges. Whether you're seeking guidance on navigating school-related issues or dealing with the emotional and psychological impact of developmental diagnoses, I'm committed to offering personalized, evidence-based interventions.
Consultation
My consultation service provides a safe and supportive space for families to discuss their concerns and goals. During our meeting, I'll work with you to identify the problem areas and develop a plan to address them. In some cases, consultation may be the only necessary step; in others, further evaluation or treatment may be warranted.
Psychological and Psychoeducational Evaluation
As a licensed psychologist, I have extensive experience in psychological assessment, diagnostic clarity, and educational recommendations. My expertise lies in identifying the root causes of behavioral, social, and educational problems, providing diagnostic clarity on a range of psychological, developmental, and educational issues. I've worked with numerous children and families, offering recommendations that are tailored to their specific needs, taking into account the realities of their school situation.
Individual and Family Therapy
As a therapist, I've had the privilege of working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety disorders, developmental disorders, and depression. My areas of specialization include anxiety disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, and mood disorders. I've worked with children and families dealing with OCD, social anxiety (phobia), Asperger's Disorder/High Functioning Autism, and co-occurring psychological and developmental disorders. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative effort between the child, family, and therapist, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment for each client.
Parenting and Behavioral Support Services
As a parent, you know how challenging it can be to navigate the complex issues surrounding your child's learning, psychological, and developmental needs. That's why I offer parent coaching, guidance, and support to help you better understand your child's needs and develop strategies for addressing them. Whether you're seeking guidance on managing challenging behaviors, finding the right school setting for your child, or simply needing emotional support and reassurance, I'm here to support you.
