I am a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in helping children, teens, and young adults with behavioral and emotional challenges in learning better coping strategies to improve their functioning. I use a collaborative approach to guide clients and families in identifying problem behaviors & personal strengths, setting goals, and learning new strategies to lead more enriched lives. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families with a variety of clinical conditions, but have developed specific expertise in treating eating disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, and working with parents of children who struggle with these and other mental health challenges. I am committed to using evidence-based treatments and personalizing them to fit your particular needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide my treatment approach, but also use Family Based Therapy (FBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and other evidence-based treatments as needed.
