Drawing on a person-in-environment framework and systemic lens, I partner with adults, children, adolescents, and families who are navigating challenges such as Autism, Mood Disorders, Learning Differences, Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Oppositional Behaviors, Self-Harm, and Family Conflict. My holistic and collaborative approach considers the whole person and their wider network of relationships and environments, recognizing that these struggles frequently impact the family system, educational setting, and peer relationships. This method is strongly supported by research as the most effective path for creating lasting positive change.
My extensive clinical background encompasses a wide range of settings, including school mental health programs and intensive higher-level care (IOP and PHP). Additionally, experience in Community Mental Health, Private Adoption, and Supervised Visitation has provided me with a deep understanding of complex family dynamics and life transitions.
Guiding my work with structure, compassion, and the firm belief that all behavior is a form of communication, my practice centers on empowering children to develop crucial skills in emotional regulation, flexibility, and follow-through. Simultaneously, I equip caregivers with practical tools to navigate power struggles & foster positive growth.
