About

Is your child struggling with anxiety, OCD-like behaviors, or repetitive negative thinking? If so, you may feel unsure how to help. Maybe you've tried soothing them, allowing them to skip things that seem to make their anxiety worse, and reassuring them that everything will be fine, but you're worried you may be enabling their anxiety. You know what a great kid you have and it’s painful to see them struggle at school and socially. You just want them to be happy. You’ve reached a point where your child’s worry, emotional outbursts, and distress are just too much for your family to handle and you need some guidance.

My approach is both supportive and structured. I’m here to offer you encouragement and I also want you to learn strategies that are based on science and really work.I use mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention approaches in my work. Each session you’ll learn specific tactics to try and you’ll have homework to practice.

I know how hard it can be to see your child struggle and the impact it can have on your entire family. Whether these struggles have been going on for years or have been recently triggered, I can help. Please call or email today for a free consultation and I’m happy to answer any questions you have.
