I am a doctoral level, licensed clinical psychologist. My practice has been located in Norfolk, Virginia for over 10 years. My expertise is in the areas of psychological evaluations, mental health diagnoses and therapeutic techniques. For psychological evaluations, I utilize a large collection of tests to assess the specific mental health areas requested by the client. After an intake, each client can choose which tests heshe would like to have administered. This can include assessment for intelligence, psychoticism, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, personality, anger, memory, achievement, behavioral problems, adaptive functioning, etc. All testing is followed by a professional, diagnostic report. For therapy, I conduct individual therapy only. I see adults of any age and children over the age of ten. However, when a child is the client, parents will be included in occasional sessions to ensure that the therapeutic practices are generalized to the home environment. My therapeutic specialties include all mood disorders, at-risk youth and psychoticism. I am a Christian and welcome the opportunity to discuss spiritual matters with my clients. However, this is based only on the comfort level of the client.
I aim to create a safe space for individuals, couples, and families to transform their lives. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing issues such as depression, veterans struggling with PTSD, and children with learning disabilities.
