Services

Treatment/Therapy

This is the majority of my practice.  I am ready to help you in 1-on-1 sessions with any of the concerns listed above.  If you aren’t sure what problem you need to work on or what to call it, don’t worry – that’s totally normal.  Please get in touch and we can discuss what might bring you some growth and relief.  We can choose the number of sessions over any period of time that works for you.

Assessment

Psychologists have training with and access to specialized assessment tools.   A formal assessment usually involves a clinical interview, some formal testing and/or questionnaires, a detailed report, and a feedback session.

I provide assessments for diagnostic clarification, when you need to determine the most appropriate diagnosis to describe your difficulties.  This can be helpful for planning treatment, opening up access to various services and supports, and for personal understanding and awareness. If you are interested in an assessment, please contact me for a consultation and a price estimate.
