Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry and Psychotherapy
Wanting your child or teenager to be in therapy with the same provider who prescribes medications
Therapy works best when parents are regularly involved in their child's treatment.

Seeing a psychiatrist is usually a difficult, stressful decision. You may be feeling at a low point in your life, or that something is just not working for you anymore. You are not alone.
Working with parents
Parents are on their own developmental trajectory alongside their child.
I work with parents hoping to better understand and help their struggling child or adult child. I believe the family often has more wisdom than an outside "expert."
Rather than being an outside "expert," I will listen closely to support your own development to be the best parent you can be.
Parent Consultation, 50 minutes

Children and teens
I work with individuals of all ages, and their families. I treat children, teens, students, and professionals with painful emotions, behavior problems, anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar, and ADHD.
You might have some of these concerns:
- Tantrums, outbursts, oppositional behavior that is difficult to understand
- Spiraling and meltdowns
- Emotional impulsivity
- Feeling uncomfortable and anxious around other people, social anxiety
- ADHD in girls
Combined treatment (medications and therapy)
Medications may be desired or indicated. Alternatively, some people wish to taper and discontinue their psychiatric medications.
Medications work best when combined with psychotherapy.
Most of my patients are also in psychotherapy. Patients either have a separate therapist, or they are receiving combined treatment (medications and therapy) with me.
Play Therapy 50 minutes
Children communicate their inner world through play. Children also learn and develop through play.
I may recommend play therapy when developmentally indicated.
Meetings are weekly to two times weekly. Parent meetings are monthly to every few months.
School and pediatrician
I can speak with your current provider or PCP about diagnostic impressions and treatment recommendations.
