Frequently Asked Questions

What types of clients do you work with?
I work with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, emotional regulation, school or behavior challenges, and sports performance. I also support parents and families in creating consistent strategies at home and school.

 

What is your background?
I’m a former special education teacher and now a licensed professional counselor. My background in education helps me bridge the gap between school and home while my therapy training allows me to provide evidence-based treatment for behavior and mental health.

 

What therapy approaches do you use?
I specialize in:

  • Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) for OCD and anxiety
  • DBT skills for emotional regulation
  • Sports psychology techniques for performance and focus
  • Behavioral strategies for school and home consistency

 

Do you work with schools?
Yes! As a former educator, I understand the importance of school collaboration. I help parents communicate with teachers, provide behavioral strategies that work in the classroom, and support students in feeling more confident at school.

 

How do I know if my child needs therapy?
Some common signs include:

  • Frequent emotional outbursts or meltdowns
  • Difficulty with transitions or schoolwork
  • High anxiety or constant “what if” worries
  • Struggles with friendships or self-esteem
  • Behavior changes at home or school
  • If you’re noticing these, therapy can provide both your child and your family with tools that really help.

 

Do you offer parent support?
Absolutely. I believe parents are the most important partners in the process. I provide coaching and tools so you feel confident supporting your child outside of session.

 

Do you only see children?
No! While I love working with kids and families, I also see adults for anxiety, OCD, and life stressors, as well as athletes who want to strengthen their mental game.

 

Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance at this time. Many clients choose to pay privately for the flexibility, privacy, and individualized care it provides. I can provide a superbill upon request that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

 

How do I get started?
You can reach out through my email or give me a call. We’ll set up a free consultation call to see if we’re the right fit and talk about your needs and goals.
