Kids

Big feelings. Big behavior. Big questions. You don't have to figure it out alone — and neither does your child.

What I Help With

Something feels off. Maybe it's the meltdowns that come out of nowhere. Maybe it's the teacher who keeps sending notes home. Maybe it's your gut telling you that what you're seeing isn't just "a phase." Big emotions, attention, behavior, anxiety, or just the weight of being a kid in a complicated world. Whatever brought you here — you were right to come.

  • This is where we start — and where we actually figure out what's going on.

    Not a checklist. Not a label slapped on in 20 minutes. A real, thorough look at your child — developmentally, emotionally, behaviorally, and environmentally.

    What's included:

    • Clinical interview with your child and you

    • Trauma-informed ACEs screening

    • School, social, and family picture

    • Full developmental and emotional history

    • Review of any prior evals, IEPs, or 504s

    • A real diagnosis — and a real plan

    Goal: Leave knowing exactly what's going on and exactly what comes next.

  • Medication can be a powerful tool — but only when used thoughtfully, minimally, and collaboratively.

    Our approach is:
    ✔ Trauma-informed
    ✔ Child-centered
    ✔ Slow + steady
    ✔ Evidence-based
    ✔ Always in partnership with families

    Medication management includes:
    • Careful review of symptoms
    • Lowest effective dose
    • Regular follow-up visits
    • Ongoing monitoring of benefits + side effects
    • Parent education & questions welcomed
    • Integration with therapy and school supports

    Goal:
    Provide safe, effective support while honoring your child’s voice and comfort level.

  • ADHD doesn't always look like the kid bouncing off the walls. Sometimes it looks like the daydreamer. The kid who tries so hard and still can't finish. The one who loses everything, forgets everything, and feels everything too intensely.

    I look for all of it.

    • Rating scales plus real clinical judgment — not just a form

    • Executive functioning and emotional regulation

    • School collaboration when needed

    • Results you can actually understand and use

    • Help navigating what accommodations your child actually needs

    Goal: Help your child understand how their brain works — not spend their childhood apologizing for it.

  • Children often show anxiety or depression through behaviors, not words. Our evaluations explore underlying patterns with compassion.

    May include assessment for:
    • Generalized anxiety
    • Social anxiety
    • School avoidance
    • Panic symptoms
    • Adjustment issues
    • Persistent sadness
    • Mood changes
    • Irritability or overwhelm

    Goal:
    Support your child in naming their feelings, building resilience, and accessing treatment that actually helps.

  • This isn't a revolving door. Follow-ups are where the real work happens.

    • How's the medication actually going — honestly?

    • What's changed at home? At school?

    • What do you need that you're not getting?

    • What does your child need that they can't yet say?

    Goal: Treatment that grows with your child instead of falling behind them.
