About

Building Stronger Family Bonds with Research-Backed Care

I'm a California licensed clinical psychologist specializing in early childhood behavior. I work with children and their families to understand and address challenges such as frequent tantrums, sleep struggles, hyperactivity or inattention, and severe anxiety. I am a certified Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) therapist. PCIT is a gold-standard, evidence-based treatment designed to strengthen parent-child relationships while reducing disruptive or anxious behaviors. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessments to help clarify your child’s strengths and needs, ensuring that treatment is well-targeted and effective. If you’re concerned about your child’s behavior or emotional well-being, I invite you to reach out for a brief consultation. We can discuss your child’s needs and outline next steps for support.
