Services

I offer the services briefly described below. Schedule a free call to talk with me about them in more detail and how they might meet your needs.

Diagnostic Assessment

Services begin with a 60–90 minute initial assessment for a diagnosis (or provisional diagnosis) that helps establish the need for services and determine the focus of treatment or evaluation.

• For Minors (under 18 years old):

  The first session is for parents only (without your child or other children) so we can review a wide variety of information (e.g., developmental history) and discuss your goals for services openly. The next appointment is with your child to hear their perspective and discuss the goals your child is motivated to work toward.

• For Adults:

  Typically, we meet one-on-one to identify your primary concerns and goals for services. However, some young adults invite a parent to join for a portion of an appointment to provide developmental history or additional context.

ADHD Assessment

Accurately diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) requires assessing for co-occurring conditions that commonly overlap with or better account for the symptoms. If the initial diagnostic assessment reveals a complex presentation, a psychological evaluation and ADHD testing are required to provide diagnostic clarity and treatment recommendations.

Psychological Evaluation

Many times a diagnostic assessment clearly indicates the need for one or more of the treatment options below, but sometimes it reveals the need for a more extensive evaluation to clarify the diagnosis or treatment needs. A psychological evaluation aims to give you the answers you need to take well-informed next steps.

Psychotherapy

Young people sometimes need a space to learn new ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Our work in therapy involves activities during sessions and “take-away” strategies to try outside of therapy.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), drawing from both classic and contemporary techniques that are supported by research. At its core, CBT is learning how thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected—how adjusting any one of them can change the others.

Organizational Skills Training (offering in October 2026)

Over half of children with ADHD in third through eighth grade need to strengthen their organization, time management, and planning (OTMP) skills to navigate daily life with age-expected independence. Relying on repeated reminders can be frustrating for both children and the parents and teachers who care for them.

Organizational Skills Training is a behavioral intervention strongly supported by research to strengthen OTMP skills for children with ADHD and improve their overall functioning in daily life.

Behavior Management

Most children thrive with standard parenting practices, but some struggle even when parents use generally accepted approaches—even when siblings did fine with the exact same parenting style.

When your child needs behavior management strategies that fit with their individual difficulties, I partner with you to implement research-supported methods that align with your family’s values.

Behavioral Interventions for Sleep Problems

Children experiencing persistent difficulties at bedtime or with falling or staying asleep need treatment for their sleep problems. Furthermore, lost sleep can exacerbate the challenges experienced by children with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a behavioral treatment (without medications) strongly supported by research. Because the effects of poor sleep can mimic mental health conditions, treating insomnia is often a crucial first step in clarifying diagnosis and supporting your child’s overall improvement.
