About Me
I have worked as a psychologist since 1987. My work primarily has focused on children, adolescents, and their families but I also work with adults who are experiencing distress or conflict in their lives. I work with clients in areas such as work conflict, family of origin issues, sexual abuse and victimization, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, end of life issues, self-esteem, divorce, parenting, ADD and ADHD, adoption issues, and others. I see psychotherapy as working collaboratively to support, guide, and educate clients to achieve greater comfort in their lives and to reach their goals. 

In my practice, I work with various school districts conducting educational and psychological testing, in English and Spanish, to diagnose special education needs of students and I participate in ARDs and in programming for students to develop their full potential in the schools. 

I also work in the area of forensic psychology in which I consult with lawyers and Judges. This also involves working in the Court system with families and individual who are involved in litigation, such as custody, visitation, and criminal matters, and I conduct psychological testing and assessments for lawyers and for the Court.

I am a member of Medical Center Psychological Services which is a community of independent mental health practitioners, including:
