I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years working with young children and their parents to address concerns related to disruptive behavior, autism, anxiety, and mood symptoms. I am very passionate about helping families reach harmony at home and in other settings so that parents feel confident and children feel loved and supported.
I have a background in cognitive behavioral therapy, although I apply this flexibly to families based on need. For young children I take a behavioral and attachment-based approach, coaching parents to engage more positively and consistently with their children. I coach parents and individual patients to understand their behaviors more, and to shift their lives to engage in more adaptive behaviors.
In the first session, I want to really get to know you and your child's histories, to understand the cycles of interaction that led to seeking treatment, as well as the family's conceptualization of their concerns.
