I work with children and teens of all ages, and specialize in working with “littles” (ages 0-5), with extensive training in early childhood mental health. I specialize in helping children cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficult life transitions, and often take a cognitive-behavioral approach to teach adaptive coping skills to help kids manage challenges. I approach my work with children by viewing them in the context of the whole family, using a family-systems lens and attachment-based approach to strengthen family relationships and to support parents in developing tools to feel equipped to manage behavioral challenges.
I provide Telehealth services to children and adolescents of all ages, specializing in Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and ASD. I also offer virtual parent consultation and coaching, utilizing a strengths-based, individualized approach to teaching parenting tools, designed to improve challenging behaviors in children and strengthen the parent-child relationship.
Working with children, I take a child-centered and strengths-based approach, meeting each child with warmth, empathy, and acceptance of their own individual life experience. In working with families, I take a transparent and collaborative approach; YOU are the expert in your child, and therapy works best when we work together as a team to support your child!
