About
I am passionate about improving the lives of children and their families by collaborating with parents and children to help them meet their goals. I work with children of all ages to address difficulties including anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, anger management, school difficulties, social skills, and behavioral problems. In order to help clients achieve clarity about their strengths and challenges, I specialize in comprehensive evaluations for children from birth through adolescence. Assessments can provide information about learning/academic achievement, developmental delays, kindergarten readiness, giftedness, attention/ADHD, behavior, or social/emotional vulnerabilities. I have extensive specialized training and experience in using the ADOS to diagnose autism spectrum disorders, including early diagnosis for very young children. I also specialize in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which is most appropriate for children 8 years old and younger. I have a primarily cognitive-behavioral (CBT) approach in therapy, and I use play techniques to implement CBT strategies with younger children. Depending on the needs of the client, I balance time between individual treatment with children and parent consultation to achieve the most effective results outside of the office.
