About

I work with children, adolescents, and families who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, behavioral challenges, and executive functioning difficulties. Many of the kids I support are bright and capable but feel stuck in cycles of worry, avoidance, big emotions, or feeling misunderstood. I have a special interest in working with anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, ADHD, oppositional behaviors, and neurodivergent children. I also partner closely with parents, helping them understand what’s driving their child’s behavior and how to respond in ways that support long-term growth. My approach is developmentally informed, collaborative, and skills-based. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and exposure-based interventions, while meeting each child where they are. Sessions are active and practical, focused on building tools kids can use in real life.
