I specialize in toddler and young child behavior using Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), PCIT-Toddlers, PC-CARE, and other parent behavioral training methods. I help families address tantrums, defiance, anxiety, and big emotions with proven, play-based methods that strengthen relationships and improve behavior. For older children, I offer CBT and ACT-based strategies. Many families come to me after other therapies haven't worked—and finally see the progress they've been hoping for.

As a psychologist with expertise in chronic illness therapy and advanced training in CBT, ACT, and family systems, I help navigate adjustment to diagnosis, medical trauma, and treatment related challenges. Whether it’s diabetes burnout or procedure anxiety in heart kids, I provide compassionate, practical tools to support resilience and reduce medical stress. My online therapy practice serves families across California and PSYPACT states.

My work is grounded in attachment science—helping parents understand their child’s behaviors through the lens of connection, emotional safety, and developmental needs. I use attachment-based strategies to foster trust and strengthen parent-child relationships, especially in the early years, for neurodiverse kids & parents, or during medical stress. This approach is woven into all aspects of my therapy and coaching.

With advanced training in CBT for children, teens, and parents, I use this gold-standard approach to help families manage anxiety, behavior challenges, and chronic illness stress. I blend CBT with developmentally appropriate, family-based tools to create practical, personalized plans. I’m especially skilled at applying CBT flexibly with young children and in high-stress parenting situations.

My boutique practice offers deeply personalized, integrative therapy—blending evidence-based methods like CBT, ACT, PCIT, and attachment-informed care. I tailor each treatment plan to your child’s needs and your family’s values, drawing from the best of science and clinical insight. This flexible, thoughtful approach is ideal for families who’ve tried other therapies and want something that finally fits.
