Therapy Services
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a supportive process where I work collaboratively with children and teens to help them navigate challenges, build skills, and foster emotional well-being. My approach is strengths-based and focused on building resiliency—helping your child develop the ability to bounce back from difficulties and thrive in everyday life.
I use evidence-based strategies tailored to each child’s unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. These methods can help your child learn to manage emotions, cope with stress, and develop practical tools for everyday challenges.
My expertise is in working with kids and teens who experience ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and autism. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where your child feels understood and empowered. Together, we’ll set goals, celebrate strengths, and work toward positive change—supporting your child’s growth both at home and in the community.
ADHD Coaching
Coaching is designed to help you think more clearly and build the skills you need to reach your goals. With coaching, you’ll have a supportive partner who works with you to identify what’s important and helps you make progress every step of the way. Some of the ways coaching can help include improving focus, staying organized, completing tasks on time, developing better study habits, sleeping more effectively, boosting motivation by breaking tasks into smaller steps, and making decisions with greater confidence. Coaching gives you practical tools and support to help you succeed and feel your best.
Is ADHD Coaching considered a form of therapy?
The answer is both yes and no.
Traditional ADHD coaching focuses on skill-building and self-management, and does not require a mental health license to provide this service. Therefore, it’s not considered therapy. Traditional therapy addresses emotional and psychological challenges and does require a licensed mental health professional.
With my years of experience treating ADHD, I’ve found that separating skill-building from emotional and psychological support is rarely effective. Many people with ADHD face barriers such as guilt, shame, and “stuck” thinking that can hinder progress and daily functioning. Ignoring these factors often leads to limited improvement and delayed skill development. That’s why I incorporate therapeutic treatment into my ADHD coaching, blending both approaches for the best outcomes. I continue to use the term “ADHD coaching” because it feels more approachable, especially for high school and college students. Therefore, unlike traditional ADHD coaching, my approach is grounded in therapeutic methods and can be considered a form of therapy.
