Child Therapeutic Services
Research-Backed Treatment for Children, Adolescents, Young Adults, and Parents
​
My training and clinical experience ranges the lifespan, but I am most known in the greater Boston area for my work with children, adolescents, and young adults. This often involves parent coaching and/or family systems work. I have a wide range of experience working with youth doing individual, group, and therapeutic summer camp related activities. With the exception of youth or young adults with psychosis and/or severe intellectual disability, I welcome all referrals ages 6+.
​
Examples of typical child and adolescent referrals:
a) Problematic or debilitating anxiety or OCD and comorbid ADHD
b) Severe emotional dysregulation/ high-risk behaviors and OCD/PTSD
c) Treatment resistant youth lacking emotional and social tools to thrive
d) Youth with OCD, Tics, and Neurodiversity
e) College student with social anxiety and academic impairment
f) Youth with OCD and ASD comorbidity
​​​
See below for a list of typical interventions I use when working with youth and their families. The interventions used depend on treatment needs and client willingness.

Education on these treatments and goal setting are a key part of the diagnostic intake process.

Adult Therapeutic Services
Research-Backed Treatment for Adults
​
I save about 30% of my caseload for adults who are a good fit for my clinical style and expertise. My clinical training and experience spans the lifespan and even my clinical work with kids nearly always involves working with parents and their own emotional challenges. Thus, I welcome adult referrals (including older adults), who have the following clinical needs:
​
a) Treatment for anxiety-based conditions like PTSD, OCD, Social Anxiety, etc.
b) Intervention for Borderline Personality Disorder or other emotional dysregulation challenges
c) Adults wanting to understand and address how their background and emotional challenges are impacting their abilities as a parent
d) Neurodiverse adults needing help navigating the demands of the adult world
