About

Compassionate Care, Grounded in Experience

I offer individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults with a focus on emotional wellness, resilience, and the development of practical coping strategies. My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, providing a safe and supportive environment to navigate life's challenges and foster personal growth. My family psychotherapy services are designed to strengthen the bonds between family members by improving communication, deepening understanding, and promoting stability within the home. I work collaboratively with families to address conflict, heal relationships, and build a healthier and more connected family dynamic. I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluation services, including pre-trial memorandums, mitigating circumstances evaluations, and detailed reports to support reduced sentences or alternative sentencing options. Additionally, I conduct short term disability evaluations and court-ordered assessments, delivering thorough and objective findings to assist legal and medical professionals in making well-informed decisions.
