I specialize in the cases where generic advice hasn't worked—pediatric behavioral challenges that disrupt daily life, diabetes psychology, chronic illness management, and families navigating the intersection of medical and mental health needs. Over the past decade, I've built a practice focused on bridging the gap between "knowing" and "doing" for clients who need deeply specialized guidance that fits their real lives.
Imagine learning to play a sport by reading/talking about the game, but never getting coached on the field. My approach is different. I guide you step-by-step in the moment while you interact with your child— choosing the right tools in the right order for your family. We adjust your language, timing, and strategies to find your path forward in real-time.
I help people who have tried everything else. I find a lot of joy in joining with families, teaching cutting-edge strategies, and translating "knowing" into "doing" with real-time coaching. I keep my practice small, so every client has a premium experience— with after-session summaries and action-plans, customized resources, and data-driven goal tracking.
