My expertise is in child, adolescent and adult OCD and anxiety. I empower clients and families by providing education, support and tangible skills within a strengths-based model. I incorporate warmth, humor, and transparency into sessions. I strongly believe in the benefit of working collaboratively with parents and use a child centered approach. I frequently use evidence-based approaches like ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), CBT, I-CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), SPACE and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused CBT).
Parent coaching by itself or as a part of a child's treatment is a significant part of my practice.
I work with kids, teens and adults with issues related to: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, panic attacks, separation anxiety, phobias, giftedness, encopresis/enuresis, parenting anxiety, divorce & school refusal. I also work with many kids and adults who have a diagnosis of Autism or ADHD that also have OCD or an anxiety disorder.
I’m also an experienced divorce therapist. I have expertise in court involved high conflict divorce, post separation abuse, financial abuse and domestic violence. I can assist parents with custody plans and coparenting practices that are child centered. I also facilitate family sessions to improve parent-child relationships that may be strained or estranged.
