I specialize in helping families struggling with anxiety, OCD, and behavior concerns. Evidence-based treatments include: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), Parent Child Interaction Therapy CALM (PCIT-CALM). CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention helps children and teens gradually face their fears so they can learn to be confident in the face of worry or intrusive thoughts. PCIT-CALM teaches parents of young children (2-7 years old) to implement play therapy skills and then use those tools to help your child practice being brave. These therapies represent the gold standard for addressing anxiety and OCD concerns with research demonstrating there effectiveness in reducing symptoms and improving well-being.

Play therapy is the process of engaging children in play to help them build skills, gain understanding, and be better able to navigate their world. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy meaning we use play to help kids learn how worry works, build skills for managing worry, and learn how to make worry a less challenging part of life. Play helps us meet children in their zone of proximal development (where kids learn best). By meeting children exactly where they are, we are able to better work towards our goals.

Our practice is not in-network with insurance panels, but we can provide you with a superbill to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Your therapist can help you learn more about this process and provide a handout on learning more about your out-of-network benefits with your insurance company.

PCIT sessions are provided virtually, however parents can come into the office for their intake session and future parent only sessions as well. For individual therapy, sessions may be in-person or virtual. We do not provide virtual sessions for individual therapy for children under the age of 10.

We know that working with parents is an incredibly important part of successful anxiety and OCD treatment. Depending on the age and willingness of your child, your therapist may invite you into sessions at times to help with skill building and engaging in bravery practice outside of sessions. Over the course of therapy, you’ll also have individual parent consultation with your child’s therapist about every 4-6 sessions to review progress and build skills to help reduce anxiety and promote bravery at home.

My hours are Monday - Thursday from 11am - 7pm. After school time slots are very popular and may not be immediately available. While I cannot make any guarantees, I will work with you to try to find a time that fits into your schedule and if we do not have availability, you can join the waitlist to be notified of specific openings.

In our intake session, we will discuss the schedule for regular sessions. Typically, most clients begin on a weekly basis. Over time, some clients may move to bi-weekly, monthly, or drop-in booster sessions on an as needed basis.

The duration of therapy varies, however research tells us that about 20 sessions of Cognitive Behavior Therapy with children and adolescents can make progress with anxiety and OCD symptoms. For PCIT, families tend to average between 14-16 sessions. The number of session can vary based on the child and the severity of the challenges. Some children may show improvement sooner, while others with more complex challenges may benefit from a longer course of therapy.
