Services
Children and teens can experience mental health challenges just like every age group. I provide specialized and comprehensive therapeutic services for youth experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, problematic behaviors, and family conflict.
​
I utilize an integrated approach to treatment to best meet your child's needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), family systems, expressive modalities, and mindfulness techniques.
​
I offer both in-person (Iowa only) or telehealth (Iowa & Oregon) appointments for your convenience.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is tailored to your child's unique needs, with a focus on helping them gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, build adaptive skills, and promote healthy relationships. My goal is to help them become an expert in their own needs so they can continue to be successful even after therapy ends.
Family Therapy
Parents and caregivers play an important role in nurturting their child's development. Family therapy focuses on fostering a greater understanding of family dynamics, strengthening family relationships, and improving communication within the family. Parents are guided with tools to best support their child's mental, emotional, and social well-being.
Care Coordination
It is essential to treat children within the context of their environment and communities. When clinically appropriate, I work closely with those involved in the child's life (i.e., other treatment providers, schools, community members) to provide the most comprehensive treatment possible.
