Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in diagnostic assessments for autism and other co-occurring conditions, as well as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Neurodiversity is professional and personal for me, both as a psychologist and as a parent. My goal is to welcome you and your child into a space where you can be free to be yourself without judgement.
If you're seeking therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) helps improve communication and strengthen the parent-child bond. It teaches effective parenting strategies to reduce challenging behaviors like tantrums and defiance in children ages 2–7.
Through live coaching, PCIT supports parents in managing difficult situations and helps children develop healthy emotional and social skills. I hope to have the privilege of working with you and your family!
