Launching
Youth Into Independence

Counseling and Assessment for Children to Young Adults

My patients often confront various challenges, including:

  • Refusal to engage in social activities and self-imposed isolation, resulting in feelings of loneliness and a lack of social connections.

  • Avoidance of attending school, college classes, or work.

  • Difficulty in establishing and maintaining friendships.

  • High anxiety and procrastination.

  • Immersion in a virtual world, excessively reliant on screens.

  • Falling behind in academic pursuits.

  • Struggles with homework, often accompanied by frustration and refusal.

  • Lack of motivation in academic endeavors, often expressing indifference towards their grades and future prospects.

  • Displaying verbal and physical outbursts, directing frustration towards family members and peers.

Experienced. Supportive. Guidance.

You’re not alone.

Many of my parent-clients…

  • Experience a profound sense of heartbreak witnessing their child's isolation and disconnection from peers.

  • Grapple with feelings of helplessness and anxiety as they navigate their child's aggressive behavior, leading to a constant state of emotional strain and a challenging home environment.

  • Feel a deep sense of guilt and inner conflict as they strive to protect all their children while struggling to find a balance that ensures everyone's safety.

  • find themselves overwhelmed and searching for a viable solution.

My Services

  • Psychological Evaluations*

    You need more than a label. A comprehensive psychological evaluation evaluates difficulties and strengths.

    I'll provide your with specific, prioritized recommendations for services, school accommodations, and home strategies.

    Parents often seek me out for questions about autism, ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, OCD, and chronic emotional disorders, such as borderline personality disorder (BPD).

  • Youth-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    All youth do well when they can. Skill deficits cause emotional and behavioral problems. They are "can't do" problems.

    CBT focuses on teaching your child skills that are easy to learn and effective.

    Parents seek my help with anger management, anxiety and OCD, school stress, avoidance and procrastination, living with autism, and mastering ADHD.

  • Parent-Focused Treatment

    Let's face it. Many children and teens do not want to go to therapy, and other youth struggle to apply skills and insight to their real lives.

    Parent-focused treatment can be an effective alternative to improve your child's anxiety, OCD, avoidance, aggression, and school difficulties.

    Your parenting isn't the problem - it's a powerful solution. Let's focus on what you can control - your behavior.

    Parents often seek my help with pathological demand avoidance, oppositional and defiant behavior, social withdrawal and isolation, school refusal, mental health care refusal, screen addiction, and "failure to launch" (dependent young adults).
