About My Clients
Many of the families I work with describe feeling stuck. Their child struggles with focus, frustration, or emotional ups and downs—and despite everyone’s best efforts, progress feels slow. My clients are kids and teens who think deeply, feel intensely, and care about doing well, but their brains work differently. ADHD, anxiety, and feeding or medical challenges can make daily life harder than it looks.
My Background and Approach
Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and tailored to each child or teen. I’m a pediatric psychologist with specialized training in feeding challenges (including ARFID and selective eating), ADHD and executive functioning, anxiety, and neurodevelopmental care. I integrate behavioral science, ACT, mindfulness, and health psychology so progress feels both practical and meaningful. Sessions are structured yet warm. Kids and teens learn flexible coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and build confidence in areas that feel hard—whether that’s eating a broader range of foods, managing overwhelm, or navigating school and friendships. Parents receive clear guidance and a supportive space to understand what’s driving their child’s behaviors and how to help between sessions. My goal is to support sustainable, developmentally informed change that brings more ease, connection, and calm to daily life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that kids do well when their environments understand them, and that families thrive when they’re supported, not judged. My work is grounded in neurodiversity-affirming values, respect for lived experience, and a commitment to seeing behavior through a developmental, contextual lens rather than through blame. I care deeply about accessibility, inclusion, and culturally responsive care. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, and committed to anti-racist practice. I stay actively engaged in continuing education, community collaboration, and advocacy for families navigating feeding challenges, ADHD, and anxiety. At my core, I believe in meeting every child with curiosity, compassion, and clear guidance; because meaningful change grows from understanding, not pressure.
