I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders in adolescents and mental health issues for transgender youth. I also treat anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, and ADHD in children and adolescents. My approach for each patient is individualized to meet their needs and includes components of evidence-based treatments: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Maudsley Method, RO-DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and/or Motivational Interviewing. I have 14 years of experience as a school psychologist and frequently consult with schools to ensure that patient's educational needs are met. A portion of my time is spent in teaching/supervision and scholarly research. Currently, I am teaming on grants to provide awareness to educators on the risk factors for human trafficking and to implement a mindfulness curriculum in a school for teen parents.
