As a parent, it can be heartbreaking to watch your child struggle with big emotions, challenging behaviors, or difficulties at school. You may feel unsure how to best support them, or wish you had more clarity about what’s driving their struggles. You want answers, tools, and hope for a brighter path forward. Whether your child is facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or school-related challenges like navigating IEPs and learning needs, you don’t have to face this alone. Together, we can navigate these challenges and help your child feel more confident, connected, and capable.
I’m a pediatric psychologist specializing in child mental health. I support children, teens, young adults, and parents through emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and behavioral strategies, I provide tools for children’s growth and guidance for parents to strengthen connection at home.
I foster a warm, supportive environment where every client feels understood and empowered. With experience in schools, a children’s hospital, private practice, and training from top programs in the country, I bring a wealth of expertise to help your family in healing and thriving. Let’s work together to help your child live their best life.

Groups
Girls Anxiety & Confidence Skills Group
Glow Up Girls Therapy Group is an 8-week virtual, skills-based group for ages 10–13, helping build confidence, self-esteem, and emotion regulation and communication skills. Led by a licensed clinical psychologist, the group teaches CBT + DBT tools to help girls manage emotions, reduce anxiety, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and improve social connections. Virtual-only and open to anyone in a PSYPACT state (43 states). Girls with low confidence, mood changes, peer challenges, or social worries often benefit from this structured format. Group size is small to ensure individualized attention, practice, and a safe space to grow. Actively recruiting; next cohort launches January 2026.
