Nearly 1 in 5 adults live with a mental health disorder. Almost 50 percent of teens also face mental health difficulties (National Institute of Mental Healht; NIMH). It has been a lifelong mission of mine to offer comprehensive services to help indiviudals cope with their mental health challenges so that they can focus their attention and efforts on building a meaningful and purposeful life. To that end, I specialize in psychological treatment for children, adolescents and women. I also complete select psychological and educational evaluations for both gifted and struggling students, from ages 4 to adulthood. I offer a free, confidential telephone consultation prior to initiating any psychological service.
