About

I’m a psychologist passionate about helping kids, teens and young adults (18-25) discover their inner strengths and navigate the challenges of school, family, friends and work. Talented people can lose sight of their many strengths, and need support in figuring out how to function at their best. By delving into everything you already know about yourself or your child, and working together to learn more, we can find that new direction you are seeking and understand the barriers that have been in the way. I focus on resilience, collaboration, and empowering people to thrive. Using strengths-focused evaluation and counseling approaches, I work with clients to foster talents, identify needs, and develop skills. Targeted approaches for ADHD, anxiety, executive functioning, dyslexia, dysgraphia and other learning disorders can help address your unique way of processing the world around you. The challenges facing you or your child can feel overwhelming when tackled alone. Let's connect to set up a time to chat. Private pay practice Superbills can be provided to client directly if appropriate.
