Do you or your child have a medical issue or life stressor that is negatively impacting your well-being? Are you looking for a professional who can relate, give you a long-term, research-backed plan + tools for empowering you to get back to living a meaningful life? If you want to work with someone who is empathic, collaborative, and helps you improve your well-being for the long-run, you are in the right place.
My approach is both: Empowering & guiding. Encouraging & challenging. Direct & warm. Humorous & genuine. Creative & research-backed. Professional & empathic. I offer various in person + virtual pediatric psychology services: consultation, assessment, testing, therapy, and coaching. My specialties include kids, parenting, medical issues, life transitions.
What's it like working with me? A warm hand on the shoulder and a gentle nudge, saying YOU can do this. Every skill and tool you need to feel empowered to meet your goals yourself. Guidance and encouragement, if and when needed. If this sounds like what you're looking for - let's connect! Book a free consultation session today.

I treat kids as young as 2 years old (e.g., potty training, sleep, behavior) to young adults in their mid-20s (e.g., chronic illness, life/medical transition). It is also part of my practice to treat parents, siblings, and families. I tend to use acceptance- and strengths-based frameworks in treatment. I frequently collaborate with medical providers and schools to coordinate & integrate care.

My approach to assessment and treatment is guided by acceptance-based and strengths-based frameworks; however, I'm flexible and may change approaches based on a patient's needs and style. Therapy is like a trip. The first session is planning to our destination. You're the driver - I'm the navigator. You choose where we go (your goals) and I show you the routes (approaches, coping skills & more).
