I primarily work with tween and teen girls ages in 6th grade and up. I also provide parenting consultation and support. I see kids typically experiencing anxiety, stress, peer difficulties, family complexities, and/or low self-esteem. My style is based on being an approachable, funny, and down-to-earth adult who your child can trust. My job is not to solve their problems but to help them develop the tools to do so themselves without experiencing high-stress levels. I have a specialty in the behavioral approaches to child and teen weight loss for kids struggling with overweight or obesity.
In addition to therapy, I teach parents how to improve their family's eating and exercise behaviors without shaming or using restrictive diets. This program helps parents of children who are overweight, obese or struggling with healthy eating or exercise behaviors. More information about this self-paced online program is available at www.pastparentfuture.com
My therapy practice is currently full, however, I am offering a short-term program for kids and teens for Summer 2022. The Summer Intensive Therapy Package includes 8 individual sessions and 2 parent sessions scheduled virtually or in-person at your convenience. Please email for more information or to apply. I also offer parent consultation sessions.
