Your child has been having a hard time with “big feelings” and “big behaviors”. You have spent hours searching to find ways to help your young child have less intense meltdowns and tantrums, or to help your grade schooler better handle transitions or unexpected change, or to help your tween worry less about “adult things” and things they can’t control. It has been extremely difficult seeing your child struggle and you really wish you could just make it all stop, but you’re out of ideas. I know that the process of finding a counselor for your child can be exhausting and intimidating, but you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

I believe that therapy should not only be individualized to support the child and family in terms of the challenges they are currently facing, but I also believe therapy should be individualized in terms of the location I serve it.

My role is to help you and support you in your journey as parents and caregivers through challenging times and transitions. I am a behaviorist that takes on a strength based and family systems approach. I believe that every child has skills and strengths to build on.

Please note that I only offer psychological testing, not counseling services. Are you or your child struggling to meet life's demands? Are you unsure about what kind of support you need? Do you struggle to access the support you need without a formal diagnosis? If so, you may benefit from a psychological evaluation. An evaluation can clarify an individual's strengths, challenges, and general tendencies, which can in turn result in recommendations for the specific types of clinical and/or educational services needed, as well as a host of helpful strategies. It may also result in one or more diagnoses that increase access to services.
