Children, Teens and Families

Is your family struggling to understand and live with the diagnosis of ADHD? Are you searching for effective, compassionate parenting tools? I work with children and their families to reduce arguing and increase respectful, loving connections. Working with all members of your family, we break down stuck patterns and improve communication skills.

Using a collaborative style, I work with kids to understand how their unique brain works, identify strengths and manage challenges more successfully. Together, with parental input, we will discover and set up what types of consistent, effective supports help them live more successfully.

Psychotherapy

ADHD rarely travels alone. It is often accompanied by anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, twice exceptionality or autism. Psychotherapy can help.

I maintain a private practice in Northampton, Massachusetts where I work with neurodivergent children, adolescents, adults and families who are struggling at home, with friends, at school or at work. My deep hope is that people can discover and develop their strengths, find ways to improve their challenges and feel good about all aspects of who they are. I use a positive psychology approach that assists you in living with more authenticity, empowerment, competency and connection. I base my work on systems theory, insight-oriented psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness grounded in research and over thirty years of clinical experience.

ADHD Consulting and Coaching
I offer packages of two and four online consulting/coaching sessions for parents or individuals to assess your situation, explore new strategies and offer suggestions for the next steps. If you are interested in working with me, please contact me.
