Frequently Asked Questions

What is your specialty?

The focus of my work is children, adolescents and their families. I have experience with a variety of issues such as ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Selective Mutism, Suicide and Self-harm and family conflict.

Do you work with adults, or couples?

Primarily I work with children and their parents on family issues. I would be happy to consult if you are not sure I would be a good match.

What is the best way to contact you?

I can be reached by email, phone or the simple form on my contact page. I usually respond within 24 hours.

What do I do if my child is in crisis and I need help immediately?

If you, or your child, is experiencing a mental health crisis there are some resources that can provide support immediately. You may call 911 or take your child to the emergency room to be assessed there. You may also check out my resources page for the local Santa Barbara children’s crisis team which is available 24 hours.
