Licensed Clinical Psychologist &
Nationally Certified School Psychologist
MY SPECIALTIES
PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONS
I conduct comprehensive, diagnostic evaluations to identify the presence of learning disabilities and attention disorders and provide recommendations for their remediation.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
I provide individual psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, and young adults in the following areas:
-
Interpersonal difficulties
-
Relationship issues
-
Self-esteem
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Stress management
-
Adjusting to life changes (e.g., divorce, loss)
-
Assertiveness and communication skills
-
Executive functioning skills including: planning, organization, time management, task prioritization and initiation, goal setting, and self-monitoring of behavior and progress towards task completion/goal attainment
My primary theoretical orientation is cognitive behavioral, though I also use dialectical behavior therapy in helping clients integrate the opposites of acceptance (mindfulness and distress tolerance) and change (emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness). Alternatively, there are circumstances that lend themselves well to other approaches, such as behavior modification or solution-focused therapy.
