If you’ve found your way here, you or someone you love is likely struggling with emotional, mental, or behavioral problems. The good news is that you’ve already taken the first step and that matters.

Psychotherapy has been shown to significantly improve emotional and behavioral health and quality of life. I’m here to help you make that change.

My Approach

I use cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based approaches to help my clients view their struggles in new ways and make the positive changes they have long desired. Using a here-and-now approach, while also taking your history into consideration, I can help you can address problems in realistic ways together. 

I have experience in working with an array of populations in various settings. As a certified school psychologist, I have worked with children from a wide range of socioeconomic classes and ages.

I have expertise in the treatment of childhood behavioral, mood and anxiety disorders and specialize in conducting child psychological evaluations including intellectual, behavioral, and personality assessments. I have also presented research on various topics, such as anger management, depression and child behavior management.  In practice, I apply research-based principles to ensure the integrity and scientific basis for implemented techniques.
