Psychologist

I am a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing effective, specialized psychological services for Adolescents/Adults. I facilitate Psychological Evaluations/Testing, Psychotherapy, and Mental Health/Performance Coaching. I take an Individualized, Empowerment and Wellness-based approach whereby I incorporate brief, solutions-focused interventions to address the overall psychological needs of a person or family to help reduce suffering and bring about optimal Well-being and long-term Recovery.

Often my caseload is full, however I would be able to match you with one of our Associate Therapists who share the same values and evidenced based approach to care. You would be able to work with these therapists while using your insurance benefits and/or for a low out-of-pocket rate, for those that would prefer to maximize confidentiality and autonomy in their therapy process.
