IN HIS OWN WORDS

What inspired me to become a psychologist?
When I was growing up, there were no mental health providers.

Why?

I lived in a part of town where poverty, crime and violence were the norm. Even if there had been providers, social stigma and fear would have prevented people in my neighborhood from getting help. So, as a young child when I experienced the death of my mother, I not only had to go through the grief process, I also witnessed first hand how the grief tore apart other people in my family. I was drawn to psychology because I wanted to gain the ability to help others who are struggling, just like my family did. I understand the effects of systemic racism and the impact it has on the BIPOC community. This is why I am passionate about what I do.

CLARITY, DIAGNOSIS & MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

Mental health concerns, learning differences, and changes in behavior or functioning are often misunderstood or overlooked. Many individuals and families are left trying to “figure it out” on their own—without clear answers, guidance, or the support they truly need.

You or your child may be struggling with focus, mood, memory, behavior, or emotional regulation. You may have been told to “give it time,” “push through,” or “try harder”—without fully understanding what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

Because these challenges don’t always look the same for everyone, they can be missed, misinterpreted, or addressed in ways that don’t lead to real progress. This can leave you feeling frustrated, uncertain, or stuck without direction.

Understanding how psychological, cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors impact daily life is the first step toward meaningful change.

The good news is that clarity is possible. Through counseling and comprehensive psychological evaluations, you can gain a deeper understanding of what you’re experiencing and receive recommendations tailored to your specific needs.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I provide a practical, collaborative, and holistic approach to care.

You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to seek support. With the right guidance, it’s possible to gain insight, improve functioning, and move forward with confidence.

CLINICAL APPROACH

I focus on helping clients move beyond insight alone and into action. While understanding your experiences is important, real progress happens when those insights are applied in everyday life.

I view each person holistically, taking into account the full picture of their well-being, including physical health, emotional experiences, and social environment. This allows for a more comprehensive and personalized approach to care.

For those seeking evaluations, I work with you to clearly define the questions you want answered. From there, I determine the most appropriate assessment tools to provide clarity, diagnosis (if applicable), and recommendations tailored to your needs.

My goal is to support and empower you to thrive—helping you achieve greater clarity, improved functioning, and a higher quality of life.
