I am a therapist with 20+ years as a school psychologist, experienced in working with individuals with learning disabilities and neurodivergence (ASD, ADHD, Emotional Disturbance). Ideal clients are children and families seeking behavioral intervention, and social skill development. They come for tailored positive behavioral plans, and evidence-based therapies (CBT, ) to build prosocial skills, reduce challenges, and improve daily functioning and quality of life.
I create positive behavioral intervention plans, and teach prosocial skills. I use CBT, DBT, and ABA (as applicable) to improve coping, social skills, and overall quality of life for children and families.
If you’re seeking compassionate, evidence-based support for your child, I’d welcome a conversation to explore how we can help them thrive.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
