Seeking support for your young child's psychological or developmental needs? As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in providing comprehensive psychological services for children 18 months to 7 years, including evaluations for autism, ADHD, learning disorders, and more. Through these evaluations, I help clarify diagnoses and provide valuable recommendations for your child's development. In addition to evaluations, I offer parent coaching and therapy to address challenging behaviors, parenting a neurodivergent child, working through meltdowns, and more! I also offer practical tips and tricks for improving sleep and potty training.
My approach is grounded attachment theory and the belief that we are all doing our best with the skills we have. I have over 10 years of experiencing working with young children in multiple capacities and I utilize those experiences to support and advocate for children and parents.
Navigating the early childhood years can be overwhelming. Together, we can create actionable steps that align with your family's values and build greater connection. The goal is to transition from survival mode towards a path of playing, connecting, and growing together. Please reach out through the website www.collectivegrowthpdx.com for more information.
