About My Practice
Experienced Psychologist
Hello, and welcome to my website. I hope you will find what you need here to be able to contact me with questions and/or reach out to schedule an appointment.
About Me
I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in providing therapy for individuals, couples and families. My focus is on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop goals, transition successfully through challenging times, and gain a better understanding of Self and relationships.
In addition to over 25 years of counseling and coaching experience, I also have management experience overseeing staff and operations of 3 psychiatric residential facilities for children and adolescents and have worked as a clinical supervisor for counselors and psychologists in training. I additionally offer consultation services to local and regional law firms regarding cases involving questions of a behavioral or psychological nature.
Always seeking to learn and share, I offer seminars, classes and public forums in community, corporate and academic settings around such topics as embracing neurodiversity in the workplace and schools, parenting and co-parenting, and how to achieve work-life balance.
Education
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Design, a Master’s in Psychology and a Doctorate Degree in Counseling Psychology. I am a CASA-trained parent facilitator, trained in professional Coaching and Internal Family Systems, and am also a Certified Autism Clinical Specialist.
