Therapist Overview
Self-awareness and self-understanding are important for success in the therapeutic journey. A thorough, strength-based, and holistic psychological assessment can provide young people and their families with much desired clarity, validation, and direction. A psychological assessment can inform school-based and academic intervention, psychological treatment, and pharmacological intervention as needed. Many families have youth who have struggled through school, are overwhelmed by stress, and/or have had interpersonal conflict. I help families make sense of their child or teen’s unique circumstances and get them the right support. I provide assessment batteries that can include the following measures: cognitive, neurocognitive, behavioral and emotional, developmental, academic, and personality. My therapeutic training includes CBT+ (CBT for youth with depression, anxiety, trauma, and behavior challenges) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which informs my recommendations. Assessments can be useful and applicable to people of all backgrounds and walks of life. If you or your child has been struggling and is new to therapy, or has been through therapy and new concerns arise, a psychological assessment may be an appropriate next step. I welcome referrals from families, schools, and therapists, and gladly collaborate with them.
