I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has over twenty-five years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My services include psychotherapy, psychoeducational testing, and psychological evaluations. In therapy, I work with clients seeking help for a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and stress related to work, school, or family.
In addition, I have specialized experience working with victims of sexual abuse and trauma, families going through divorce, and women experiencing fertility problems. Psychoeducational testing is offered to children, adolescents, and young adults who have been struggling in aspects of their school work and may have a learning disability or attention-deficit disorder.
This testing is also offered to adults who are concerned that attention or cognitive problems may be affecting work performance or relationships. Psychological evaluations are offered to clients who have been referred for comprehensive personality testing and assessment in order to better understand diagnostic issues and treatment needs.

Services
I obtained my doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Maryland in 1988, and have been licensed as a psychologist since 1990.
Earlier in my career I worked for ten years with child, adolescent, and adult clients at the Woodburn Center for Community Mental Health in Annandale, Virginia.
During this tenure, I conducted individual therapy, psychological evaluations, parenting assessments, and parenting classes.
I also provided clinical supervision to psychology interns and residents.

During the first meeting, I gather background information and explore the client's reasons for seeking therapy.
Together, we discuss what changes the client hopes to make and how therapy could help accomplish these goals.
During this session, the client also has the opportunity to see whether my therapeutic style is a good fit for him or her.
My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, as I listen carefully to the client's thoughts and feelings and provide feedback with the aim of increasing self-awareness to help promote change.

Psychoeducational testing is offered to children, adolescents, and college-age adults in order to help identify learning disabilities and attention-deficit disorders, as well as to illuminate a variety of cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
The testing can also help identify any emotional or social issues that may be interfering with the ability to enjoy school and perform up to one's intellectual potential.
The evaluation includes a background interview with parents and several hours of testing with the child or adolescent that occurs over a few meetings.
