I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 2 decades of experience supporting youth and their families. My initial areas of focus centered around anxiety, ADHD, behavioral concerns and twice exceptionality. The frequency with which clients had co-morbid OCD, BFRBs and Tics alongside my mission to provide high quality, effective evidence based treatment has led to me continue to hone my skills by acquiring additional and specialized treatments. I have completed the IOCD BBTI pediatrics training and teen training, TLC’s BFRB training, Yale Child Center’s SPACE training, Tourette’s Foundation CBIT training and have become a Non-Violent Resistant Parenting Provider.

I have considerable experience working with teens and young adults who are LGBTQA+, trans gender and gender fluid.
