Specialty
  • Specialty: psychologist
  • Specialties within field: Specializing in children and adolescents, I have extensive experience working with teachers, school staff & parents. I also conduct assessments. I have helped patients with a range of problems (school behavior, to severe trauma, to adjustments surrounding changes in life, and even those with psychotic disorders). My patients have ranged in age from 3-73. Other areas in which I have aided persons include: attachment & loss; women in transition; & those with chronic conditions (such as pain, whether it is back or migraines; asthma or allergies; & even Restless Leg Syndrome). I look forward to helping others within the realm of our shared world view and values. I am excited to be able to integrate my faith with my work. My faith is ever-growing, just as I am always a work in progress. God has created us so wonderfully, beautifully and specifically, that if we are stressed emotionally, He formed a way for us to stop, notice something is wrong, and (hopefully) come to the understanding that we need to listen and express our true selves. I am honored and humbled to be a conduit in this process of healing.
Professional Statement

Using a Biopsychosocialspiritual model, I explore patients' concerns from all angles, in a person-centered approach, while also exploring issues deeper through a psychodynamic approach that helps each person discover the unconscious meaning behind their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Faith, it's expression and practice of, are explored and utilized to enhance treatment and interventions.
