About Me
I have over 20 years of direct experience in providing psychotherapy and psychological evaluation to children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures. I have been in private practice since 2000. Previously, I was a Staff Psychologist at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, NC (1998-2004) and worked at several clinics and hospitals in the Boston area (1994-1998). I also provide supervision to area therapists, and have provided seminars on psychological testing and multi-cultural issues in psychotherapy.
