My website

I run DBT Skills Groups for adolescents and adults. See flyers. My passion is helping young people. I am grateful each day I get to see their excitement, help them learn and grow, and listen to stories about their antics! I know all too well that being a parent isn't easy and sometimes neither is being a child or young adult. I work hard to understand each family member's unique perspective. I help youth and families identify and achieve personalized goals. I teach young people effective strategies so they can thrive at home, at school, and with friends. I am honored to get to help families through their toughest times.

I am committed to evidence-based practice meaning I use treatments with research to show they work and fit them to each individual's unique needs. I have specialized training and experience assessing and treating youth on the Autism Spectrum. I am passionate about suicide prevention and trained in the best available assessment and treatment for suicide.

I specialize in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This was my research area in graduate school, and I've worked with hundreds of youth with ADHD. I also am trained in treating PTSD in youth using Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I'm experienced with treating OCD and Trichotillomania. I would love to work with your family!

I start with an assessment to help you understand what is causing the problems you are having. I then help people to generate their own, individualized goals. I then focus on teaching strategies and using types of therapies that help people to achieve their goals. I use evidence-based treatments that have been shown to improve symptoms with significant benefits typically in 6-12 sessions.
