I work with children and adolescents age 3 and up. Below are some of the disorders and problems I treat:

•  Attention Deficit Disorders
•  School Refusal (i.e., refusing to go to school)
•  Noncompliance with house rules
•  Getting homework completed
•  Refusing to sleep in own bed
•  Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Phobias
•  Oppositional Defiant disorder
•  Conduct Disorder
•  Social anxiety & shyness
•  Adjustment Disorders
•  Childhood Depression
•  Behavioral Disorders
•  Eating Disorders & weight issues
•  Reactions to and difficulty adjusting to  parents’ divorce
•  Teenage Substance & Alcohol Abuse
•  Teenage Sexual Promiscuity
•  Grief and Bereavement

After speaking with parents of teenagers, I encourage them to offer their child the option of phoning me before their first appointment so they can have an idea of what I am like and so I can help them feel more comfortable about coming in for therapy.

With the parent’s consent, I will consult with the child’s school to help with any school-related problems or issues. Also with consent, I will work with your child’s pediatrician, psychiatrist, or other service provider to ensure coodination of care.

I do not do psychological testing, but can refer you to an excellent psychologist who does.
