Below are a list of issues and diagnoses that I frequently address in my work with children and adolescents. I am skilled at treating a variety of psychological conditions, but no professional can claim to have expertise in all areas of child psychology. My first priority is for your child to get the treatment and support they need and I am happy to make a referral if the presenting concerns fall outside the scope of my training and expertise.
