I am dedicated to offering evidence-based care to youth and families facing a wide range of challenges. One of my passions is helping caregivers learn to better manage emotional and behavioral difficulties in young children, including ADHD-related symptoms, noncompliance, and aggression, as well as anxiety-based difficulties. My goal is to provide caregivers with the tools needed to support their children well beyond our time together. I also specialize in treating adults coping with anxiety or mood-related issues and relationship difficulties, including work with couples. Assessment services (e.g., LD, ADHD) also available.
I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and have extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other cognitive-behavioral approaches. My approach is grounded in a balance of acceptance and behavioral change strategies. I aim to center clients' values in our work, to help them move towards a life with meaning and vitality.
Change can be scary and overwhelming. I feel privileged to be able to support clients on the journey towards a more fulfilling life. If you think I may be the right therapist for you, please reach out. To book a phone screen and get started- go to meridianpsychologypractice.youcanbook.me

Our work together will begin with a brief assessment to ensure I have a clear understanding of your concerns, and so we can collaboratively develop your goals for treatment. Treatment will focus on building new skills and ways of coping with current stressors.

I rely on the use of evidence-based treatments, so you can be sure you will receive care with the strongest scientific support tailored to your goals. I primarily use PCIT to address behavioral difficulties in young children. For anxiety-related concerns across the lifespan, I use cognitive-behavioral approaches like ACT, ERP or CBT.
