I specialize in working with children (and/or their parents/caregivers) treating childhood anxiety disorders. I am passionate and knowledgeable about treating children with phobias (e.g. medical phobias including phobia of needles/injections, phobia of dogs, phobia of vomiting, and so on), panic disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), to name a few. If your child has anxiety, I have decades of experience and specialization supporting children and their parents/caregivers to find their courage and work through life's scary moments. 

I am currently offering limited potential for in-office options for therapy (available on a case-to-case/by discussion basis) with a predominant focus on telehealth, something about which I would be happy to discuss with you further. It is important to know that anxiety (including OCD, phobias, and panic disorders) is actually highly treatable via telehealth. Research published in the JMIR Mental Health indicates that telehealth was equally effective at treating anxiety as in-person therapy. In fact, anxiety is often very responsive to the online format for several reasons. One of the benefits of working together online is the ability to practice courage in your child's home and familiar spaces - spaces where they experience anxiety, spaces where their compulsions play out. Additionally, if your child has fears of contamination/germs, they may be less responsive to initial treatment outside the home. 

Once we've built a relationship, I like to provide knowledge and structured hands-on tools that children or parents/caregivers can use right now. I feel so grateful every time a family allows me into their life to provide a glimpse of where they need support, and I cannot wait to meet you!
