My Approach:

Therapy with me is collaborative and individualized. We will work together to develop goals for your sessions, and I will pull from a variety of treatment modalities in order to develop an individualized plan that will meet all of your needs. I believe in a client’s right to both know and understand the why behind how I do therapy, so I always encourage questions and feedback throughout our time together.

Suicidal Thoughts and depression

Suicidal thoughts and depression can feel overwhelming and all encompassing when you are dealing with them on your own. As a therapist, I aim to provide a nonjudgmental space to begin exploring the ‘why’ behind the feelings you are having and develop a plan to help ease these feelings.

Behavioral Difficulties

Behavioral difficulties can look like Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), school refusal, self-harming, and behavioral challenges related to Autism and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I believe that all behavior is communication, and I will help you understand what these behaviors are trying to communicate to you.

Parent consultation

I offer parent consultation two separate ways -

  1. Parent consultation is included in my work with children ages 6 to 12 years old.

  2. Parents/guardians can see me individually for parent consultation as the main focus of treatment.
