Welcome to my practice

You are likely here because you are seeking help. You want to make sure my practice is the right fit for you, your child, and/or your family. It is essential that you find someone you are comfortable working with, as research shows this is a key factor in how successful treatment will be.

My approach

I truly enjoy being a psychologist. My practice is primarily focused on working with children, adolescents, parents/caregivers, and families, although I see adults as well. My approach combines practical, solution-focused work with warmth and humor.

I focus on personalizing interventions to make them work for you and your particular situation. I will encourage you to tell me what obstacles you are likely to face when trying something we discuss, and we will figure out how to work around those challenges.

Your input is essential

While I have expertise in treating a variety of difficulties encountered by clients, I consider you the expert on you and/or your family. We will combine our expertise to address your concerns. Although each set of circumstances is different, I aim to provide treatment only as long as you, your child, or your family needs it. We will work together until functioning has been restored.

Schedule an appointment

I created this website to introduce you to my practice and to give you a sense of who I am. While there is plenty of useful information here, it is most helpful to meet for an intake to discuss the specifics of your situation. Please feel free to call or email the office to schedule an appointment. My administrative assistant can also help answer any questions you might have about my practice.
