About
Growing up isn't easy. Today's adolescents experience more stress, expectations, and worries than ever. My passion is helping people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed, which can lead to depressive/anxious symptoms, and poor coping skills. I bring compassion, honesty, and humor into our sessions, creating a safe, trusting space. I believe in the resiliency everyone has to work through challenges. I include parents and the child in our work, a crucial piece for consistency in communication, and navigating the increasing stressors kids face. On a personal note, I'm also a mom, and can empathize with daily demands of family life.
Areas of focus in my practice are therapy, and testing, with children, adolescents and adults. I provide Neuropsych/Psych evaluations, Autism evaluations to provide diagnosis and recommendations for schools or treatment. I have 14 years experience in school settings and special education settings, working with many local districts.
I've worked in hospitals, therapeutic schools, private practice. My background is cognitive-behavioral, focusing on a strength-based approach. Specialties: anxiety, depression, "perfectionist tendencies," Autism Spectrum Disorder, AD/HD, family issues, divorce, self-esteem, social and peer issues. Call for a consultation, I look forward to hearing from you!
