Great to meet you!

Is Your Teen Child Angry, Withdrawn, and Struggling in School?

As a mother of high schoolers myself, I understand the worry of seeing your child struggle.

I also know that a "15-minute doctor's visit" often leads to overmedication rather than answers. I specialize in children and teen psychiatry of 12-19 high school students and adults.

My approach to therapy

My Areas of Expertise:

  • ADHD & Executive Dysfunction: Helping teens move past the "paralysis" of procrastination.
  • Anxiety & Social Phobia: Strategies for students overwhelmed by the social pressures of high school.
  • Trauma & Depression: Identifying the root causes of withdrawal or "mystery" physical ailments.

What you can expect from me

In our first 60 minute session with your child, I will dig deep to discover how I can help them. My subsequent follow-up sessions with your child will not be a two minute phone call to call in a prescription refill but 30 minutes (or more if needed) sessions to really understand how they are interacting with medications and to make any adjustments as needed.
