Individual and Family Therapy
I provide both individual and family therapy, recognizing that every child is unique and requires a tailored approach to meet their individual needs. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help children understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, equipping them with practical skills to enhance emotional regulation. Additionally, I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to foster self-awareness and emotional resilience by exploring and harmonizing inner parts. To further support the child, I offer family sessions that strengthen parent-child connections and encourage open communication and collaborative problem-solving, helping to identify strengths and areas needing support for growth within the entire family.
Play Therapy
Play is how young children understand their world, expressing thoughts and feelings they may not yet articulate. In my practice, I use child-centered play therapy to help my young clients explore emotions, tackle challenges, and build skills through toys, art, and storytelling. Play therapy teaches boundaries, healthy communication, and empathy, serving as a powerful tool for emotional growth.
Parent Coaching
Parents and caregivers are vital to a child's emotional growth, which is why I offer dedicated parent sessions in therapy. These meetings allow us to discuss key topics like discipline, communication, and strengthening your bond with your child, while developing strategies to support progress and enhance family connections.
Diagnostic Evaluations
Diagnostic evaluations play a crucial role in understanding mental health and/or developmental challenges affecting a child. Accurate diagnoses and treatment recommendations can be vital in ensuring children receive the necessary levels of care. These evaluations typically involve a clinical interview with the child, their caregivers, behavioral observations, standardized rating scales, and, when needed, additional assessment methods.

ADHD Testing for Children and Adolescents
I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Dr. Matthew Berger & Associates as the lead psychologist for children's psychological testing. For testing, please contact them at 570-346-3686. While psychological testing services will be conducted at Dr. Berger's office, all other therapy and diagnostic evaluation services continue to be offered at my private practice in Kingston.
Paying for Therapy
I accept a variety of popular health insurance plans, including Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield Geisinger Health Plan, Optum Health, Aetna, and Community Care Behavioral Health Organization (Medical Assistance). I participate in most Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans, such as Blue CHIP and Geisinger CHIP. If you plan to use insurance, please check with your health insurance customer service representative regarding coverage for behavioral health services before our first appointment.
