I am certified in PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy) and ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), working with children experiencing developmental and behavioral issues, potentially diagnosed with behavior disorders, ADHD, autism, or other related disorders.
I am a clinical psychologist and licensed behavior analyst specializing in the treatment of children and families dealing with behavior disorders. My ideal client is a child who needs help with management of challenging behavior, emotion regulation, anxiety, and other related issues. The family should be interested in a team approach, with direct, regular involvement in treatment.

I provide strategies geared towards fostering positive child behavior, strengthening parent-child relationships, assisting individuals, couples, and families coping with life's changes, and promoting self-resilience.
Being a parent can be tough and can often lead to a lot of “what if” questions and stress while balancing being a parent and life’s challenges. Whether you're navigating tantrums, or experimenting with different discipline strategies, all while trying to keep yourself and relationships afloat, it can become overwhelming.

On my clinical journey so far, I have encountered young children and their families, adolescents and young adults, female groups, mixed-race clients, and elders at nursing homes. Issues that we worked with include grief, significant life-transitions, trauma, identities, family systems, and peer connections.

I use EFT to help couples improve the intimacy and closeness that they crave in their marriage while improving communication and understanding.

Let's make roadblocks such as anxiety, depression, addiction, impulsivity, and trauma into steppingstones! Don't let it define you. Let's define it, understand it and make way for opportunities and a better future.

Working with individuals, couples, teens and children I have come to understand that we all want to be heard so that we may experience a healthier, productive life. Often, we experience conflict and troublesome behaviors that prevent us from feeling happy and satisfied. Depression, anxiety and a myriad of other self-defeating conditions or behaviors can emerge that interfere with our everyday relationships and can cause many difficulties in our lives. My approach is to work closely with you, through any issues, in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, designed to address your needs.

I provide play therapy for children that incorporates: child directed play, cognitive behavioral strategies and confidence building exercises.
I believe in the power of a therapeutic relationship built on acceptance, empathy and positive regard to enable change and advance growth. I provide psychodynamic/humanistic therapy to assist people in seeing connections between past experiences and present behavior. I set goals with clients but I believe a value focused orientation is more effective at helping people live their best lives. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to provide skills that can reduce anxiety, anger, guilt and dysfunctional behavior and help people feel more in control of their choices.
