About My Clients
I am looking to help families, children, and teens with neurodiversity, learning challenges, stress in everyday activities, and family interactions. I like to examine all your areas of life including home, school, and work. I am a detective to help you discover the root causes of behavior or habits. I am a coach and you are the #1 team member as we work towards change. Complexities addressed include ADHD, ADD, anxiety, autism, ODD, PDA, depression, delays, OCD, and trauma.
My Background and Approach
I have been a therapist working with families and children for over 20 years with significant telehealth experiences from the very young to the family environment. I specialize in functional skill building to address root problems. I utilize approaches in Sensory Integration, CBT, mindfulness, Brain Gym, Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS), gentle parenting, narrative therapy, whole body/person therapy, developmental approaches, parent and family coaching models, and more. I have a very unique approach when working with clients. I address functional skills in order to elicit everyday changes that make a difference. I see clients virtually in the states of Minnesota, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Ohio, North Carolina, and New York. By being virtual I can connect with you in many environments, situations, and experiences. You don't have to take the information from the office and implement it at home, you can do that instantly with me!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I do not believe in behavior modification programs. I believe if we could change our behavior we would and therefore our challenges are related to skill deficits. By examining our skill deficits and developing the skills we need, our daily activities (so-called challenges and stress) begin to change. I believe your journey may not be a solo journey and others including children, family, and friends may be part of your journey. I believe all children want to do good. I believe you are who you are meant to be...not less autistic, less ADHD, less you. Together we find the tools you want and need, we address the changes or modifications you want to explore, and we educate others you want to understand. I support you all based on your needs. I understand parenting from a neurodiversity lens.
