Personal Statement
I enjoy the challenges inherent in evaluations for learning and attention for individuals of all ages, child, adolescent, college student and adult, as well as formulating the plans to help address these issues. While I work primarily with individual children and adolescents in therapy, parents are involved in this process and are viewed as an important part of the plan. Therapy for college students and for parents who would like to address parenting strategies is also available.
