Available Services

Therapy
With training and experience in play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and family systems therapy, I’m able to create a custom therapeutic plan for each child and family I see. I often use a behavioral approach with younger children.

Assessment
I’m experienced in several types of evaluations, including cognitive testing, learning disabilities, emotional assessment, and neuropsychological assessment. I truly enjoy the assessment process, and consider it an opportunity to get to know children in a unique way. I provide families with a comprehensive written report at the end of each assessment.
