A clinical psychologist specializes in assessing and treating people who may be experiencing emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges. They provide therapy, conduct psychological assessments, and collaborate with families and other professionals to support the child's well-being. A child psychologist has a specialization in child development and providing psychological service to children, teens, and their families.

During the initial appointment, I will gather information about you or your child's history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. At the end of the appointment, we will collaborate and discuss treatment options tailored to your child's needs.

Yes, parents/caregivers are typically encouraged in their children's therapy. Depending on your child's age and needs, you may participate in sessions, receive feedback on your child's progress, and learn strategies to support their well-being at home. You may even get some homework!

Therapy with children can be quite diverse! It will involve a supportive and engaging environment where they can safely express themselves and learn coping skills tailored to their needs. Depending on their age and concerns, therapy may incorporate play, talk, or expressive activities to help them understand and manage their emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

Often, therapy involves work outside of the sessions. In fact, this is likely where much progress is made. As such, I typically set goals for each week for families and their children.

No. Psychologists are not allowed to prescribe or change medications. Always consult with your physician regarding medication. However, if I believe that medication may be beneficial for you or your child, I can collaborate with a psychiatrist or your primary care physician to facilitate the appropriate medication management alongside therapy.

We are on the fourth floor of Herald Towers. When you enter, walk left past the big silver directory. Walk straight down this hall. The elevator will be to your right. Go to the fourth floor. Turn right when exiting the elevator. The main door does lock at 5pm. If our session is at 5pm or later, I will meet you at the main entrance.

There are two parking options. As you approach our building on Herald Avenue, there will be a large parking lot on your left (across the road from our building). Be sure to park in a non-permit spot:

Be careful at the crosswalk if you park on the left side!
