About me

With over a decade of experience as a behavioral therapist working with children, teens, and young adults, my clients have had diagnoses such as ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I work with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and with special considerations such as trauma, disability, and phobias. I'm trained in biobehavioral health, the study of the interplay between biology and psychology. When we work together, I'll help you identify the barriers to optimal health and support you in making habits that are both practical and long-lasting.

I highly recommend Alex and his approach to helping parents relate and interact with their kiddos and be able to speak into their lives in a positive way. His instagram account alone has lots of tools for parents looking for constructive ways to navigate the challenges they may face with their kiddos. Please check him out if you need some great parenting resources.
