Parent Coaching

Make an appointment

I provide psychological evaluations to help children, adolescents, and families better understand emotional, behavioral, and mental health concerns. Evaluations include clinical interviews, behavioral observations, and diagnostic assessment. I am trained in the DIAMOND, a structured diagnostic interview for assessing common mental health conditions in children and adolescents. Following the evaluation, I provide feedback and individualized treatment plans.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
CBT and ERP are evidence-based treatments that are particularly effective for anxiety, OCD, and depression. CBT helps individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and develop more adaptive ways of responding to difficult situations. ERP involves learning to approach anxiety-provoking or uncomfortable situations/stimulu in order to build tolerance and learn you can handle the discomfort.
ACT helps individuals develop greater flexibility in how they respond to difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Rather than waiting for discomfort to go away, clients learn to make room for difficult experiences while taking action based on their values.
ACT can be particularly helpful for adolescents and young adults who feel stuck due to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or uncertainty about their direction in life. Together, we identify personal values and goals and develop practical steps toward a life that feels meaningful and purposeful.
Parent coaching provides practical, evidence-based strategies to help parents respond to their child's emotional and behavioral challenges with greater confidence and consistency. Parent coaching is tailored to each family rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
I specialize in parent coaching for families of children ages 3–12 experiencing anxiety, OCD, emotional dysregulation, tantrums, and challenging behaviors. Parents are an important and powerful part of the treatment process, and small changes in how parents respond can create meaningful changes in a child's ability to cope, regulate, and become more independent.
For anxiety and OCD, I draw heavily from SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). Parents learn to validate their child's emotions and communicate confidence in their ability to cope while gradually reducing accommodations that may unintentionally reinforce anxiety or OCD.
For emotional and behavioral challenges, I draw from Parent Management Training (PMT) and DBT-Children (DBT-C). Strategies include validation, positive attention and praise, one-on-one time, reward systems, selective attention, and clear, consistent boundaries.
