Services

Consultation is designed to clarify symptoms, identify patterns, and determine the most appropriate next steps in care. This process may include diagnostic clarification, review of previous interventions, and recommendations regarding additional supports or level of care.

For individuals seeking ongoing psychotherapy, consultation serves as the required starting point for treatment. It allows for a comprehensive assessment of concerns, strengths, history, and goals in order to establish diagnostic understanding, determine whether my services are a good fit, and develop an individualized treatment plan.

Individual therapy provides a consistent and supportive space for children, adolescents, and young adults to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the patterns that feel difficult to change. Therapy is tailored to the individual and may be brief and focused on a specific concern or goal, or longer-term depending on clinical needs and treatment goals.

Treatment may involve structured, skills-based intervention (such as CBT strategies, behavioral support, and targeted skill-building for concerns like anxiety, OCD, or specific behavioral challenges), or it may be more reflective and exploratory, addressing broader themes such as identity, trauma, or difficulties with food and self-image.

Across both approaches, therapy is collaborative and goal-informed, with an emphasis on meeting young people where they are and helping them build strategies that feel realistic, sustainable, and usable in daily life.

Caregiver and family-based treatment focuses on supporting caregivers as primary agents of change in addressing child emotional and behavioral difficulties. This work is grounded in the understanding that meaningful and lasting change often involves strengthening how caregivers respond to anxiety, emotional distress, and behavioral challenges at home.

Treatment may include SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), parent coaching, behavioral management strategies, and joint parent-child sessions to practice and reinforce CBT skills.

Sessions are structured, skills-focused, and collaborative, with an emphasis on helping caregivers respond more effectively while supporting the child or adolescent in building coping skills, flexibility, and independence over time.
