Evidence-based treatments and practices
COGNITIVE & DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
I am trained in several programs based on Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) principles to help regulate your emotions.
BEHAVIORAL PARENT TRAINING
I am trained in a number of evidence-based behavioral parent training programs and can help you manage your child's disruptive behaviors in as little as 4 sessions.
MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is the gold standard treatment for individuals who want to change a behavior (substance use, diet, exercise, etc.).
AUTISM CONSULTATION AND COACHING
For those diagnosed later in life (teens and young adults), it may be a confusing time. I have experience supporting individuals in their journey of self-discovery as neurodivergent. I provide an initial consultation for those who have questions and ongoing coaching for those who want support.
