Services
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to evidence-based care that is thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and family. All treatment recommendations are grounded in current research and adapted to fit each child’s developmental stage, strengths, challenges, and family context. My goal is to work collaboratively with families to create personalized, practical, and effective plans that support meaningful growth and lasting change.
My approach always begins with…
Evaluation & Treatment Planning
This service is designed to build a comprehensive understanding of your child’s needs and guide the development of a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan. The process typically includes:
Parent Consultation: An in-depth conversation to explore your concerns, your child’s history, and your family’s goals.
Child and Family Observation: Typically includes a family observation and/or individual meeting(s) with your child to better understand their emotional, behavioral, and social functioning.
Objective Measures: Standardized, evidence-based tools are used to gather additional data and clarify areas of need.
Provider Collaboration (as needed): With your permission, I can consult with your child’s school, psychiatrist, or other care providers to ensure a coordinated and well-informed approach.
Personalized Treatment Plan: You’ll receive a clear, practical, and research-informed plan tailored to your child’s strengths and challenges and aligned with your family’s values.
