Do you know that something needs to change for your child or family, but you aren’t sure where to start or what kind of services to seek? As a psychologist, I have expertise in children and teenagers, mental health care, psychological testing, and diagnosis. As a parent/caregiver, you have expertise in your child, family, and your child’s life story. You know what you’ve already tried, and what has or hasn’t helped. I know what other options are out there, and how to figure out which options will be a good fit. Let’s work together to determine the best path forward to support your child. I provide psychological assessment to answer questions about diagnosis and treatment options. I also offer parent consultation and brief assessment. I can test for specific diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, etc.. but can also help you answer general questions such as, "Why does my child get so mad?" I also offer therapy and parenting support for kids and teens dealing with anxiety, OCD. depression, anger, trauma, or other concerns. If your child is young or not interested in attending therapy themself, I can work exclusively or primarily with parent(s) on ways to support your child at home and shift patterns that aren't working for you or them.
