My Approach

Today’s youth already have plenty of adults in their lives that they may feel pressure to perform for. I am committed to building strong relationships with each client I work with, and my goal is to make them feel comfortable sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. What clients can expect from me is a compassionate, authentic, and direct response that leaves them feeling validated AND like there is a plan of action. I am a comprehensive and systemic thinker and always look at individuals in the context of their relationships with their families, friends, teachers, teams, and community at large. Like most things in life, I believe that there is no “one size fits all” treatment model that works for everyone and love to pull from a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have extensive experience treating anxiety disorders, specific phobias, OCD, ADHD, Selective Mutism, and other individual and family stressors.  I am also dedicated to arming the key adults in a child’s life with the tools they need to most effectively support each individual child.
