My Approach
My approach to child clinical work is heavily influenced by cognitive behavioral therapies and my background in assessment. I utilize evidenced based treatments and ongoing progress monitoring tools to ensure treatment is short-term and effective. My style is directive, skills oriented, and includes HW (yes you heard that right!). My goal for you/and or your child to come in, gain skills, feel better and then graduate!
My Philosophy
I believe that parents and children have more exciting things to do than to come into treatment. Treatment will only work if we are having a great time while in session (expect jokes!). Rapport building is an integral part of the therapeutic process. In the first few sessions we establish what kinds of activities your child enjoys that will be incorporated into the sessions.
The Treatment Process
The process begins with a consultation phone call to make sure we are a good fit to work together. At our first session, we do a thorough intake evaluation, where we get to know your child and the reason you came into treatment. I will then assess your child’s symptoms, discuss diagnoses, generate treatment goals, and collaborate on a uniquely tailored treatment plan.

Schedule a 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
