About My Clients

A typical client is a child or teen between ages 2–18 who is struggling with anxiety, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, or behavior challenges at home or school. They may have trouble following routines, expressing emotions, managing frustration, or building friendships. Families often seek support to understand their child’s needs, improve behavior, strengthen relationships, and create a plan that works in real life.

My Background and Approach

My approach is solution-focused and individualized, blending compassion with clinical expertise. With a background in inpatient pediatric psychiatry, autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and community mental health, I partner closely with parents to create practical, effective treatment plans. I am committed to helping families build progress through collaboration and care.
