Hello! I’m Dr. Amy
Licensed Psychologist
I specialize in treating children, teens and adults with a wide range of presenting problems including: anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, high-functioning autism, learning challenges, disruptive behaviors, poor executive skills, and general emotional dysregulation. I thoroughly enjoy working with young people and their families, and believe that treatment should be holistic, collaborative, and carried out in a supportive and empathic environment. I employ evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT), Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavioral Intervention Plans, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Functional Behavioral Assessments.
