Therapist Overview
I am a child, teen, and family psychologist and Past-President of the Virginia Academy of Clinical Psychologists, with 30+ years of practice. My background and the core of my work is individual/family therapy from toddler-hood to adult, and psychological evaluation for learning/attention and emotional struggles. I have skills and a passion for working with families in a Collaborative Divorce process, a non-litigated process that actually can foster growth in communication and decision-making skills, and I also enjoy providing consultation to coparents following divorce. These ALL build resilience – a core theme in this work! RESILIENCE is that ability to tolerate challenge and adversity, in whatever form, with strength and purpose. That quality – entailing courage, mindfulness to this moment, and flexibility to deal with unexpected answers and the need to shift gears – may be THE critical challenge, and I am honored to address that with you – whether 2, 19 or 40 years old.
