Professional Experience and Background
I have been in private practice for over 20 years and have more than 30 years of experience providing mental health services. Before opening my own office, I worked for several well-known local agencies providing therapy and testing services. I have also worked in a residential school setting, treating some of the most difficult and complex child and adolescent cases. For four years, I worked in crisis services and conducted emergency evaluations from emergency rooms. I have participated in school education planning and provided behavioral consulting throughout the community.
Family and Individual Therapy Services
I provide psychotherapy and testing services for individuals and families across several areas. I work with children over the age of five, adolescents, and adults. Areas of expertise include treatment and assessment for attention-deficit disorders, depression, anxiety, and autistic spectrum conditions such as Asperger’s. I also work with trauma survivors and individuals seeking support for life stressors. Another focus of my practice is providing behavioral and cognitive behavioral treatment to individuals, families, and parents.
Psychological and Neuropsychological Testing
Another primary area of my practice is conducting psychological and neuropsychological testing. Testing services address a wide range of concerns, including developmental disabilities, attention-deficit disorders, emotional functioning, and impairment related to trauma. Testing can also help clarify diagnoses when they are not yet clear. Referrals often come from mental health professionals, medical doctors, and concerned parents.
