I provide assessment and therapy for children and adolescents as well as parent coaching. My job is actually to work myself out of a job, teaching you and your child strategies to get unstuck and back on track. Therapy is solution-focused and active, designed to make lasting change. Sometimes even a few sessions can result in increased confidence, decreased problem behaviors, less anxiety, and improved relationships. Don't wait to get help. If you are ready for change, please contact me to schedule a free phone consultation and/or schedule an appointment. I use a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) perspective - an active, collaborative treatment focused on modifying thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to effectively manage areas of difficulty. CBT is a first line treatment for behavioral issues, emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, social issues and adjustment. Therapy is tailored to your specific situation. I have expertise in parenting/behavioral issues, anxiety disorders, depression, and chronic health/pain conditions, including chronic stomach pain in children. I work collaboratively with children and parents to generalize treatment gains. When indicated, I do home or school visits.
