"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind"
William James
A BIT ABOUT THERAPY
According to the American Psychological Association, “Psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.” Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, my patients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with any of life’s various obstacles. My therapy sessions are designed to dissect personal issues and provide patients with effective tools to help them cope with life's stressors and improve their overall well-being.

A BIT ABOUT PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
When most people think of testing, they think of medical testing such as blood work or neurological imaging. But clinical psychologists often utilize psychological testing in order to gain comprehensive and valuable information about clients within a very short period of time. The benefit of psychological testing is that the information is gained over the course of a few sessions, rather than several months or even longer.
​
Depending on a client's presenting problems, a variety of evaluations can reveal information to help therapists and clinicians better understand clients and develop an effective treatment plan. Psychological evaluations can be a critical tool in clarifying someone's diagnosis, assisting psychiatrists in making decisions about medication, increasing the client's insight and self-awareness, and providing the client with recommendations and resources that will support their decision-making about treatment.
​
Psychological testing is commonly recommended to diagnose ADHD or specific learning disabilities due to ongoing academic problems that are intruding on a student's educational development. The referral for this type of testing often comes first from the school, but can also come from a pediatrician or from a parent who has noticed their child's poor academic performance or decline. College students are often referred for this type of testing by their academic advisor, because they are struggling in school for the first time and there are no known reasons for the challenges.
​
Psychological testing assesses cognitive functioning, academic achievement, and social and emotional factors that could be affecting a client's functioning at home, school, work, or socially.
