Services
Counseling
Individual and family counseling services are available for children, youth, college-aged students, adults, and families. I believe that there is a time and place for counseling and it can look different for each client ranging from weekly sessions to monthly sessions to one-time sessions. Counseling sessions typically include goal setting and are solution-focused. Counseling may include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, play based therapy, or be focused on skill building. Fees start at 180/hour. Discounted rates may be available upon request.

For a child, counseling can help a child better understand themself, improve coping skills, and address mood or behavior difficulties. I believe that including parents in the counseling process to some degree is very important for lasting permanent change to happen.
-
For individuals, whether youth or adult, counseling can help identify and overcome barriers in life, navigate life challenges, and increase school/work/relationship/life satisfaction.
-
For a family, counseling can help navigate loss, challenges, conflict, and restore relationships.
Comprehensive Psychological Assessment
Assessments identify learning disabilities, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, ADHD, and emotional or behavioral challenges. The assessment results provide valuable insights to develop tailored intervention and support strategies. Special education criteria are addressed to help you find services if needed. Assessments will include recommendations applicable to college students and 504 plan recommendations. The process will conclude with an in-depth parent-friendly report that is reviewed at length with you. Assessments are tailored upon request. Fees vary depending on need and typically range between $1500 to $3600.
Consultation and Training
I am available to partner with schools, groups, or institutions to provide professional development, behavior management strategies, etc. I am also available for advocacy related to 504 plans and IEPs. I am especially passionate about topics related to screen time, digital media, and mental health. I am willing to host parent groups for awareness and education purposes.
