Your First Visit

You may be interested in the therapeutic approaches I take as well as the conditions I treat. Psychological assessment is a complex task for which I have the experience and training. It’s the first step in the therapy process where I identify the particular maladies you may want to address. Testing may be appropriate for assessing conditions such as anxiety and depression. Should I feel that a more thorough assessment is needed I will discuss this with you in detail and make the necessary referral.

When working with adolescents I encourage the young person to meet with me alone. This allows me to establish a rapport and create a safe space where the person can share his or her issues. In the case of young people, their parents’ involvement is then integrated as the youth and I find it necessary. Consultation and support to the parents is provided collaboratively.

I will help you explore interactions with your spouse or partner – your “significant other”.  And if you are a parent you know the challenges you face; I can offer insights in relating to your children.

I share my expertise with organizations and staff dealing with at risk youth.
