As your psychologist, I will teach you to find hidden strengths in your symptoms so YOU can reach your goals. I offer a spectrum of treatments that support self-advocacy, consent, and neurodiversity. My curriculum of multi-modal prompts, games, videos, and adaptive materials ensure all ages (2y-adult) and abilities (ADHD, DD, ASD, nonspeaking) express themselves in their comfort zone. We all make bad choices when we are missing skills (which can be taught) or supports (which can be provided). I offer individual/family therapy, education advocacy, ABA to CBT transitions, behavior consultations, and conflict resolution plans.
For 32+ years I have supported neuro-diverse patients through Applied Behavior Analysis, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Trauma-focused CBT, Play therapy, Art Therapy, Drama Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Floor-time, Collaborative and Proactive Solutions to Challenging behaviors, PCIT, Universal Protocol, Mindfulness therapy, and PEERS social skills groups.
How many Psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb? One…but the lightbulb must WANT to change! Each session develops personalized handouts to practice and share therapy skills with your family, schools, and support system. You control your practice and goal progress, at your pace. You CAN change. I will help you.

In Family therapy, I use behavioral science to troubleshoot complex behaviors and identify lagging skills or missing supports to target in training. Individually, I adapt to your expression style using drama/art/narrative/play therapies so therapy is interactive and accessible. Consultation services include advocacy, support plans, & trainings.

I use behavioral science to break complex behaviors into simple small goals that can be tracked for progress. I use creative arts and mindfulness approaches to keep therapy positive and accessible to all brain types. I use family counseling and CBT to bridge the gaps between school/work/ABA & home. I create personalized handouts for patients to apply therapy strategies to their everyday lives.
