Caring for Children
I’m a licensed psychologist with years of experience helping parents and children navigate behavior in a way that’s loving, practical, and aligned with their family values. I believe in working as a team – with your child included! – to understand behaviors and find solutions together.
I love coaching parents and giving them the tools to support their child’s growth. My approach is focused on being skills-based, so you can quickly learn strategies that make a lasting impact. I have a special passion for working with neurodivergent kids and helping parents better understand their unique needs. I also have lots of experience advocating for families in school settings, including IEP meetings, so if you need extra support in that area, I’m happy to help.
