My approach is strengths-based with a focus on helping clients recognize and develop their positive values, abilities and qualities. I am a child, adolescent, adult and family psychologist who provides individual/family therapy and parent coaching. I have over 15 years of experience working with a variety of issues such as anxiety (including selective mutism), depression, anger, noncompliance, defiance, impulsive behavior, trauma, parenting, and family relationships.
My background is in cognitive behavioral, family systems, and interpersonal orientations. My interventions are tailored for the concerns of my clients, and I often work with parents in addressing the needs of the family. I use the Nurtured Heart Approach as a general parenting framework, and I also coach parents of anxious children in the SPACE program.
Clients have given me the feedback that they appreciate my sense of humor, patience, persistence, and open communication about my therapy interventions. Please contact me for a free phone or video consultation to determine if my therapy services will be a good match for you.

For children with anxiety, I work collaboratively with parents to implement evidence-based behavioral and cognitive-behavioral interventions. For Selective Mutism, I initially train parents in specialized play techniques that are then implemented in joint sessions with their child. The child approaches their fear of speaking through gradual exposures in which I slowly integrate into the play.

My integrative approach typically incorporates evidence-based practices (like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). In individual therapy, we'll work together to understand how to recognize and adjust patterns in thinking, behavior, emotional expression, family dynamics and interpersonal relationships. Parenting work focuses on how to best respond and relate to children to support and guide them.
