I believe that caregivers can be great change agents for their children, thus I work closely with parents, using evidence-based treatments to empower them to manage behavioral challenges, improve the parent-child relationship, and support their children’s coping. I value collaboration in the therapeutic relationship, thus I’m committed to understanding families’ goals, and providing the support to effectively meet those goals.”
