Therapy

Is your child struggling to regulate their emotions, follow directions at home without a bunch of reminders, navigate social interactions, or is having trouble at school? Have you read all the blogs, listened to the podcasts, tried the sticker charts, but you still feel like you’re hitting a wall?

I can help!

My passion lies in empowering children and teenagers from ages 3 to 17 to navigate challenging emotions and social situations. In a supportive environment, they can develop effective strategies that extend beyond our sessions and help them thrive in real-life situations. I specialize in working with neurodiverse children and teens, especially those with autism, ADHD, and anxiety.

Telehealth services are available for children living in California, only.

My Approach - By the Ages

  • In joint sessions with parent and child, I focus on the essentials of emotional regulation, where I can model strategies and provide in-the-moment feedback that parents can take home and use.

    I prioritize skills your child can use immediately! Through engaging activities, evidence-based methods like CBT, behavioral skills training, and integrating a brain based approach (how their brain and body influence their feelings, thoughts, and actions), they'll learn to manage emotions, build confidence, and thrive.

  • Utilizing a brain-based approach rooted in CBT, ACT, and person-centered therapy, I empower your to child understand how their brain and body interact with and influence their feelings, thoughts, and actions. Working on executive functioning skills is also embedded in sessions.

    For younger children, parent collaboration is still an important part of the process.

    Together, we work to develop coping skills, build resilience, and strengthen executive functioning skills, all while exploring what truly matters to them.

  • Parent coaching empowers YOU! Unlike therapy with your child, it equips parents with tools to create positive routines & systems for a calmer, happier home. My expertise as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst helps personalize strategies for lasting change. In-home visits can be available.
