Relationship-focused, evidence-based therapy tailored to you

Thank you for visiting my website and welcome to my practice.  I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in treating school-age children, adolescents, parents and families.  Additionally, I work with adults to address a variety of issues.  As a university-trained psychologist, I provide evidence-based treatments proven effective by research studies.  Similar studies show the therapeutic alliance—the relationship between the client and therapist—is also a critical component of effective therapy.  Therefore, I strive to establish a genuine connection with each of my clients, be they a child, teen or adult.

Psychotherapy is both a science and an art, and I am continually challenged and rewarded by my work.  It is an honor to step into my clients’ lives and collaboratively pursue personal goals that can lead to happier, more fulfilling futures.  I hope the following pages will help you decide if you are interested in working together.  If so, please contact me by phone or email.

I work evenings and Sundays for your and/or your child’s convenience and benefit. I also accept most private insurance plans and reserve one opening in my schedule for a lower-income, self-pay client. My goal is to provide superior quality therapy to a broad array of school-age children, adolescents, parents, families and adults.
