Each child and family is unique. I am committed to deep listening and getting to know families as we navigate helping their child or teenager with developmental or behavioral concerns. I use a strengths-based approach in my interviews and discussions of treatment options and value collaboration with families. I utilize behavioral modification, medication management, clinical hypnosis, educational planning, and self-regulation techniques to help address concerns.
Outside of work I love to spend time with my family, friends and dog. I like to read, garden, cook, hike, cross-country ski, and make pottery.
