Overview

Services

I use a behavioral and/or cognitive behavioral approach to all of my patient care in order to modify thoughts and behaviors for better life functioning. I work with children and their caregivers as change needs to happen in both groups in order for them to be most effective and acceptable.  I have become a better psychologist after becoming a mother, integrating evidenced practice care with every day strategies and techniques that all caregivers can implement into their lives to better their parenting and children’s lives.
