I specialize in working with successful professionals who are stressed, sad, or lonely "at the top." I understand that you aren't only the sum of your thoughts or accomplishments, but a whole person with multiple factors impinging on your life. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. I offer a warm, caring, non-judgmental atmosphere where we can move together towards your life's goals. I establish a holistic approach to create a healing environment for the whole person, mind, body and spirit.
Through the psychotherapeutic relationship we will create a new context for personal exploration and new experiences. I believe in the mind’s ability to heal its self and to move forward with the potential for growth, change, evolution and healing.
I have experience in treating people with assorted concerns including: anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, anger management, chronic pain and illness, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), relationship issues, and eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating).
Psychological Assessment
In addition to therapy I also provide comprehensive psychological assessment services.
Psychological assessments typically begin with a clinical interview, followed by objective and projective measures, a feedback session and a written report. Written reports are generally available within three weeks following the completion of all testing measures.
Learning related difficulties may create problems at home or work settings. Psychological assessments can help to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses in learning and coping styles so that the individual can make the necessary adjustments to move forward from a place of strength and knowledge.
In all of my work I utilize a holistic approach to create a healing environment. Psychological assessment can facilitate that process. If you are interested in a fuller understanding of yourself as a whole person then contact me. If you are looking for someone to help you or your child within an academic setting, I have the knowledge and ability to help you change the trajectory of a lifetime of learning.
Younger People
Younger people pose specific challenges that sometimes need to be addressed by someone outside the family network. Children and parents often find themselves stuck in situations that they can’t work out. Today’s high-pressure, fast-paced world often leaves our families and children at a disadvantage. Kids and teens are often faced with opportunities and situations that seem unthinkable to their parents. The divide seems to grow bigger and the young people fall farther into themselves.
The adolescent years can be a particularly challenging and risky as they often get themselves into situations that are emotionally and physically dangerous.
I have over 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents with behavioral and anxiety issues. I take confidentiality very seriously and material shared in therapy sessions is private unless the young person expresses intent to hurt oneself or others, or is a victim of abuse. With a teen’s permission I will meet with parent(s) or caretakers(s) to discuss general themes of therapy and to help the family deal with the changes they are experiencing. When working with children under fifteen regular meetings with parents are part of the therapeutic process.
