IQ Testing

I offer IQ testing for gifted programming and school planning purposes, including private school admissions. To book IQ testing with me, please self-schedule here.

Parenting Anxious Kids- Group

I periodically offer a workshop called Parenting Anxious Kids. This 6-session (1-hour each session) small-group workshop is geared towards parents of elementary-school-aged kids who experience anxiety or OCD. More information can be found on this webpage and flyer. If you’re interested in participating, please complete the New Client Inquiry Form.

Individual Therapy for Tweens, Teens, & Young Adults

I enjoy helping young people navigate anxiety, worries, fears, and stress. My individual therapy clients range in age from tweens through young adults. Many of my clients have anxiety or OCD, and many are also neurodivergent—in other words, they think or learn differently, and may have a diagnosis such as autism or ADHD. I also enjoy working with ambitious, high-achieving, and stressed out tweens, teens, and young adults, and helping them learn skills to manage their stress and worry. My therapy practice is typically full but I do have occasional openings for new clients.
