Practice Profile:

I've been a licensed psychologist for nearly twenty-five years, working in group private practice and hospital settings. In 1999 I became licensed in and moved to the state of New Hampshire (NH License #891). Prior to that I worked in Massachusetts and Connecticut. I work with adults, adolescents and children with a broad range of clinical issues. These include, but are not limited to:

• anxiety disorders, mood disorders (depression, bipolar), adjustment disorders
• stress management, posttraumatic stress disorder
• relationship issues, life transitions, personal growth
• psychological evaluation; e.g., of learning disorders, ADHD, and other psychiatric disorders
• codependency and ACOA issues
• personality disorders
• workplace issues
• pain management and anger issues
• acute and chronic health issues

My practice includes treatment of children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly.  Treatment can include individual, couples, or family therapy.  I provide treatments appropriate to the problem and individual.  With the client's permission, I communicate with their physician or other treatment providers in order to provide comprehensive and effective care.
 
I administer a full-range of psychological evaluation and testing for children, teens, adults and the elderly for such issues as: diagnosis… personality testing… intelligence testing…special education programming (elementary through college).
 
In addition to in office work, I have provided professional services to state agencies and schools...provided workshops on a number of issues such as stress management, violence prevention, and parenting... served as an Employee Assistance Program liaison for town governments, non-profit organizations, schools and business industries... worked as a college professor... and am active in pursuit of professional continuing education.
