Raising children is hard work -
I FEEL LIKE I'M WALKING ON EGGSHELLS AROUND MY CHILD

WHY WON'T MY CHILD STOP WORRYING?
Childhood Anxiety can be complicated, and it can feel exhausting to support! I will help you understand your child’s worry patterns, learn new ways of responding to them, and give you tools to build your child’s emotional literacy.
WHY IS MY CHILD ACTING THIS WAY??
I will help you understand the why, or “function” of concerning behaviors, as well as the factors that contribute to them happening. Together, we will develop a plan to prevent or minimize behaviors of concern, as well as a plan for how to respond effectively when they happen.
MY CHILD CAN'T PAY ATTENTION OR GET ANYTHING DONE!
I will help you with supporting skills like working memory, planning, organization, and flexibility.
MY CHILD NEEDS HELP AT SCHOOL!
I will help you ensure your child is receiving appropriate social-emotional and behavioral support at school by helping you have a thorough knowledge of your child’s rights, and teaching you strategies to effectively collaborate with school staff.
My goal is to provide parents with the resources to help them feel empowered in supporting their children behaviorally and socially-emotionally using strategies, evidenced by science and practiced in reality.

Childhood Anxiety affects more than the child -
It impacts the whole family.

I am trained in both Cognitive Behavior Therapy and SPACE (Supportive Parenting of Anxious Childhood Emotions), two evidence-based treatments for childhood anxiety.

that you are the best parent for your child and that even the best parents need help sometimes. My clinical approach will give you the tools you need to support your children long-term.
Combined with my solution-focused therapeutic approach, I use the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand the "why" of your child's behaviors and help you support them in developing appropriate skills.
that behavior is nuanced - it is the result of a learning history that includes biology, family systems, culture, and parenting style.
