Therapist Overview
As both a licensed psychologist and BCBA, I specialize in the treatment of challenging behavior, anxiety and stress management, and skills training. I work with children and adolescents who are experiencing behavioral difficulties such as noncompliance, aggression, and off-task behavior at school and/or home, and have specific expertise working with individuals on the autism spectrum. I provide parent training for families looking to create a consistent and positive environment in the home. I use a two-prong approach to behavior management: decrease interfering behavior while teaching adaptive functional behavior such as coping skills, social skills, and organization skills. I work with children through adults in managing anxiety and stress. Whether someone is overwhelmed by the daily grind or consumed by a stressful life event, we identify common triggers and break unproductive response patterns. I guide people toward solutions to overcome and cope with the obstacles in everyday life.
