I specialize in psychological assessment, including assessment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, problems with math, and problems with writing. I also specialize in the assessment of gifted children. I provide assessments for many other types of behavioral and emotional concerns. I also provide evaluations to assess for kindergarten readiness and developmental delays. I conduct testing necessary for private school admissions and for accommodations on standardized tests (SAT, ACT, LSAT, etc) and in higher education settings. I work with clients of all ages, from young children to adults. I use testing procedures tailored to the individual to address the questions that are most important to you. All clients receive an extensive report with detailed diagnoses and recommendations. I am happy to work with parents and schools to set up systems to help children succeed. I am available to discuss concerns and to explore whether psychological testing is right for you or your child.

Is this a challenging time in your life? Are you feeling down, confused, or angry and don't know what to do about it? Would you like help to figure out what is going on but don't know where to go for it? I work with individuals and couples who either feel ready to make a change in how they are living their lives or their lives have become so challenging that change is their only option. Many people I work with are functioning on the outside but inside feel out of control, overwhelmed, and stressed to the max. Together, we can focus on letting go of old patterns, guilt, and behaviors that are no longer working for you. We can also identify options you may not realize are open to you, figure out how to regain your power and control, and help you create the life you desire. I've been helping individuals and couples through the challenges of parenting, relationships, and change for more than 25 years. I'm here to help you have more balance, self-confidence and peace. My experience shows me that there are solutions to every issue. Together we will find yours.

No one ever said life is easy! Through my own life experience, personal crisis, loss, challenges and painful relationships I have learned that inner strength and resiliency is the key to survival. A quote by Winston Churchill is my motto, no matter how difficult life may seem, “Never Never Never Give Up.” Engaged or considering marriage? Pre marital counseling offers couples a structured sounding board to address important issues.. At MDC Serenity Counseling I offer a non-religious based program. If spirituality is important to you we can bring that topic into the conversation. Discuss important issues in a healthy productive way prior to tying the knot! Is divorce or separation a possible scenario for your current relationship? Are you finding yourself grieving a major loss right now? Anxiety and Depression often occur while coping with loss. We all grieve in our own way. In my experience it is not a matter of "getting over it" when we lose a relationship or a loved one. We need to give ourselves permission to be sad and grieve. It is important to realize that we can get through the pain of loss and go on with our lives and find happiness again. Life can be overwhelming at times. Current life situations can leave one feeling confused, anxious or depressed. There are times in life when we need help from a professional. Although it may seem scary, it is okay to ask for help. I will work with you to bring positive change to your life. The relationship between psychotherapist and client is one of the most important parts of therapy. I believe that creating a safe place to work through your difficulties is essential. I bring compassion, honesty and humor to my counseling. My training as a social worker and mental health therapist as well as my personal life experiences can help you find tools to cope with life’s difficulties. To achieve your goals I utilize an individual approach that builds on, and recognizes, the strengths you already have and assists you to learn new ones. My goal is to help you bring about positive change and help you get the serenity back into your life.

“If you're needing help for your relationship, you want efficient and effective relief. I work to help you and your partner make sense out of confusing emotional dynamics and restore what you may have lost, joy and emotional closeness. At times it is necessary to deal with relationship fears of intimacy, including sexual intimacy, or to counteract feelings of resentment and anger. Learning good communications skills and how to fight fair are common outcomes for couples I counsel. If you or someone you know needs counseling for addiction, I provide you the tools to find better ways to take care of yourself so that you no longer need addictive behaviors to feel good. I am particularly interested in working with you if you struggle with relapse. Do not limit yourself. Executive or life coaching can be effective for you if you have the desire to do more and better in any part of your life: relationships, work performance, school, career advancement, physical health, or quality of lifestyle. ***Ask me why I recommend you not use your health insurance for counseling.***”
