Helping you understand your child.
specializing in children and teens with selective mutism, ocd and anxiety disorders
You see your child unable to interact with the world around them.
You feel like you have two children- the bubbly, chatty child you have at home and the reserved child in public.
Your child will sometimes look angry, stare blankly or hide behind you if they are asked a question (and you know they know the answer).
Your child loves a particular sport (or activity) but as soon as you arrive for their lesson, your child doesn’t participate.
You want to help your child but you feel stuck and don’t know what to do.
You want others to see the child you know and love.
You feel frustrated or confused by your child’s behaviors. You sometimes wonder if they choose to act this way.
Does any of this sound familiar? If so, you’re in the right place. I know these situations and countless others. I work with complex profiles and help parents learn to understand their child and respond with empathy and support.

I provide teletherapy to families in North and South Carolina, as well as in-person services to families local to the Charlotte area. Teletherapy has proven to be extremely successful and often families prefer teletherapy due to the convenience. We discuss which approach (in person or virtual) would be best for your family’s situation.
