With over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults, I specialize in helping clients with challenges related to ADHD, Executive Functioning, Anxiety, Depression, School Refusal, Life Transitions, Parenting and Relationships. As a former Teacher, Dean of Students, and Mental Health Assessment Therapist for a large school district, I bring a wealth of understanding of where most kids and teens spend their days: at school! I am uniquely skilled in helping clients put what they learn in therapy into practice. Specialties include graduate students (medicine, law and business) as well as student athletes.
Using Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and an Attachment Parenting perspective, I work with clients in online confidential therapy sessions. Parents of minor children also have an opportunity to support their child on their journey by participating in collateral parent sessions when appropriate, or individual parent support sessions.
If you are looking for support for yourself or your child, teen or young adult, I am uniquely qualified to guide you on this journey and support you in reaching your goals. Call today and reach out for a free 15 minute consultation.
