I offer concrete, effective strategies to parents, children, & adolescents to address a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental concerns. My clients leave every session with a specific plan for exactly what to do to build skills or reduce problem behaviors, and improvement is usually quick to see. Children who benefit from my services exhibit a very broad range of challenges, including ADHD-related impulsivity and hyperactivity, aggression, oppositionality, "attitude", anxiety, ASD-related social skills deficits and challenges, enuresis, encopresis, and sleeping issues - just to name a few.
My approach is very behavioral, which means that sessions are focused on solutions. With a doctorate in clinical psychology, 15+ years experience as a school psychologist, and training as a behavior analyst, I have the expertise to maximize efficient use of your time and money to find solutions for your child or adolescent.
Managing life with a child whose emotions and behavior are really challenging can be exhausting and it is difficult to know what you should be doing as a parent in response. Similarly, when you are in the grip of OCD, it can seem impossible to get out from under the control of the OCD monster. Behavior therapy is extremely effective in both circumstances.

In my experience, the most effective and efficient way to help children with challenging behaviors is to work with parents first. My behavior therapy approach always starts with parent-driven interventions that are often all that is necessary to turn challenging child behavior around. I may involve you and your child together in skills-teaching sessions, and plan for use of skills in real life.
