If you or your child is anxious, feeling stuck, struggling with OCD, or acting out, you are not alone. I understand how overwhelming those spirals of worry or behavioral struggles can feel. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space tailored to your unique needs. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), and Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP). I blend structure with flexibility—helping clients build skills that work right now, while addressing underlying patterns.
I help children, teens, parents, and adults navigate anxiety, OCD, behavioral challenges, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. Therapy is a collaborative process where we explore your goals, values, and problem areas together. You’ll gain practical tools along with deeper understanding of what keeps challenges going.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. If anxiety, OCD, or behavior issues are weighing on your child and family, I’d be honored to work with you. Most clients begin with a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can get to know each other. Reach out today to schedule your consultation—let’s see if we’re a good fit.
