Your Trusted Clinical Psychologist for Teletherapy and Psychological Assessments
As a dedicated clinical psychologist, I have devoted my career to empowering individuals through solution-focused therapy and comprehensive psychological assessments. With over three decades of experience since establishing my private practice in 1991, I specialize in addressing ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, depression, and life transitions through evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy and telepsychology services. My practice prioritizes accessibility, offering HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions for clients in remote areas or with mobility challenges across Washington State. Rooted in practical problem-solving, my approach integrates personalized resource development and collaboration with healthcare providers to ensure holistic care. I hold a Washington State Psychology license and maintain active membership in the American Psychological Association, completing 60+ hours of continuing education every three years.My expertise extends to disability documentation advocacy and coaching for academic success, wellness goals, and ADHD management. Having co-founded Bellingham's Adult ADHD Support Group in the 1990s, I remain committed to community mental health initiatives. My practice philosophy emphasizes understanding how past and present experiences shape emotional well-being, guiding clients toward sustainable growth. With academic credentials including a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Seattle Pacific University, I combine rigorous training with compassionate care. Whether through psychological evaluations or teletherapy sessions, my mission remains helping individuals build the tools needed to navigate life's challenges effectively.
