My Approach to Helping
Thank you for viewing my profile. I provide supportive therapy, therapy with a more exploratory focus, psychoanalysis, parenting support, and both school and neuropsychological assessment (Learning disability, ADHD, school, brain injury, social-emotional, etc). In therapy, I focus on helping people with a wide range of longstanding and more recent problems (e.g., anxiety, depression, relationships, body image, identity, job stress, marital stress, self-esteem, attachments). I also have an interest in helping endurance athletes cope with stress related to training, job, relationships, etc. I have office and remote access. My qualifications include board certification in clinical psychology (ABPP), adult psychoanalysis (FABP), school neuropsychology (ABSNP), and assessment psychology (ABAP). I have completed postgraduate programs in school psychology, neuropsychology, and adult psychoanalysis.
If you contact me, I'll get back to you quickly to arrange an initial consultation and talk about your needs.

How Psychotherapy Can Help
Psychotherapy can help by providing you with a supportive, professional, and ethical relationship where you feel understood. Psychotherapy offers you the personal space that is often needed, but hard to come by, to talk things out, develop new perspectives, solve problems that affect your life, and come to terms with issues that have been troubling, private, and led to feelings of self-doubt, shame, anger, and so on.
My Role as a Therapist
As a therapist, I invite you to collaborate with me in developing a way to feel better. I do this in a manner that is ethical, respectful, open-minded, and attentive to what you have to say.
