Question 1

My child doesn't have a diagnosis. Can we still get help from you?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You do not need a diagnosis to get support. Many families come in because something just isn't right - like constant battles at home, concerns from a teacher, or worries about their child's big emotions. We're here to help, even if you're not sure what's going on yet.

Question 2

What's the first step?

Accepted Answer

Start by reaching out! You can fill out my contact form or give me a call. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to hear what's going on, answer your questions, and see if we're a good fit. You don't have to struggle alone.

Question 3

Do you offer virtual therapy or telehealth?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! In fact, much of the work I do is via Telehealth. Many families love the convenience of working with me from the comfort of their home. Treatments such as PCIT, Behavioral Parent Training, and School Consultations are very effective when done virtually.

Question 4

What is included in the diagnostic evaluation?

Accepted Answer

The comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is designed to get a full picture of your child's strengths, struggles, and emotional needs. I begin with a parent interview to understand your concerns, your child's developmental history, and their experiences at home and school. Then, I structure the child portion of the evaluation based on the information I gather during our initial conversation.

Using gold-standard assessment tools and clinical expertise, I evaluate for challenges like ADHD, behavior disorders, anxiety, emotional regulation, and other concerns.

After gathering all the information, you'll receive clear, thoughtful feedback, along with personalized treatment recommendations and next steps to help your child thrive.

Question 5

Do you collaborate with schools or other providers?

Accepted Answer

I love collaborating with teachers and schools to support your child in every environment. From school observations to consultations and school wide trainings, I strive to empower educators with the techniques that help your child thrive. Working together allows us the ability to create consistency in the approach for your child which leads them to be more successful and flourish!

Question 6

Is it too early to start therapy?

Accepted Answer

It's never too early to support your child's emotional development. In fact, early intervention (especially ages 2-7) often leads to the best outcomes and can make parenting feel easier and more joyful. If you're wondering if your child and family would benefit from support, I'd be happy to help bring clarity and guide you along this journey.
