Autism Evaluations and Therapy
I specialize in comprehensive autism evaluations using gold‑standard tools, including the ADOS‑2, all within a collaborative, family‑centered process. ​My work is grounded in a neurodiversity‑affirming perspective—recognizing that every child has their own strengths, communication style, and way of experiencing the world. Through thoughtful assessment and individualized recommendations, I help youth and their families gain a clearer understanding of their abilities while building practical tools and skills to support areas of difficulty. My goal is to empower children and families with clarity, confidence, and a meaningful path forward that truly fits each individual needs.
Psychological Testing & Evaluations
I offer comprehensive psychological evaluations, as well as testing for autism and ADHD. I use a neurodiversity-affirming approach to my assessments and feedback with families.
​
My evaluations are both collaborative and therapeutic. I work closely with parents, children and teens, teachers and other important professionals to learn about your child. Through this process, I will help your child learn about themselves and their strengths, needs, and what helps them feel confident and successful. Together, we can work to understand what supports your child needs to grow and thrive.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based approach designed for children ages 2 to 7 who are experiencing attention problems, disruptive behaviors, defiance, aggression, or autism. This therapy is rooted in principles of social learning, attachment, developmental theories, and behavioral practices.
PCIT aims to strengthen the parent-child relationship by teaching specific skills known as PRIDE. During treatment sessions, both parents and children work with a therapist, where parents receive coaching on behavior management strategies to reduce disruptive behaviors and enhance compliance.
The typical course of treatment lasts about 16 weekly sessions and is conducted in two phases: Child-Directed Interaction (CDI) and Parent-Directed Interaction (PDI).
Individual Therapy
I offer personalized therapy for children and adolescents facing a range of mental health struggles. My interventions are tailored to each child's unique needs and rooted in evidence-based methods. I specialize in various treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavior therapy (parent-management training, functional behavior assessment, behavior modification), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and social skills training.
