BIO
A large component of my clinical work focuses on the treatment of children and adolescents. I am particularly interested in the treatment of anxiety/stress and depression, and therefore work with many children and adolescents who have experienced trauma or stressors. The other side of my clinical work involves conducting evaluations. As a district psychologist in a local school district, I conduct evaluations to aid in determining students' eligibility to receive special education services, and consult with teachers and parents. Finally, at the BTPC I conduct forensic evaluations, and am especially interested in those involving children and adolescents. For example, I conduct adolescent sex offender evaluations, evaluations of children suspected of being sexually abused, and evaluations of parental competence.
