What has research shown to be the most important aspect of "successful" therapy? It is the relationship between the therapist and the client. Within the safety of a trusting relationship, we can come to understand your story, help you to feel seen and heard, and work through the things that get you "stuck."
I work with adults, teens, and children in therapy, parent guidance, and psychological testing.
As a therapist, I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, adoption, attachment issues, relationship issues, grief & loss, infertility, issues related to Sensory Processing Disorder, life transitions/adjustments, ADHD, and academic concerns.
In parent guidance, I combine my clinical experience and training with my 19 years as a mom (of three great kids) to help parents navigate the challenges of parenthood. Common concerns range from early developmental issues to launching teens into young adulthood, and everything in between.
I enjoy doing psychological and educational testing, and have seen how the benefits of a comprehensive assessment can literally change the trajectory of a persons life as they (or their parents, and/or teachers) have a fuller understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I also provide testing for those who are applying to Gifted and Talented programs.
I am passionate about my job, both in my private practice and in teaching graduate level courses at a local university in clinical intervention and child/adolescent assessment.
Please feel free to call or send an email if you have questions, or would like to set up a consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
