My expertise lies in working with adolescents and young children, specifically those diagnosed with, or that have tendencies of, Autism Spectrum Disorder, depression, anxiety, paranoia, as well as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, and Conduct Disorder.
My modalities tend to combine Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, as well as talk therapy through an understanding, but willing to challenge, lense. Because I have experience working in schools, I understand through first hand knowledge how difficult and shaping the school experience is for children and adolescents.
As adults, it is difficult to understand and know why we feel the way we do, think the way we think, how we relate to others, and why we may be stuck in patterns of behavior. For children and teenagers, these facts about themselves are even more jarring and difficult. That’s why I have dedicated my career to helping this age group.
