Naples, FL Child Psychologist – Therapy and Evaluations for Children, Teens, and Families
I am proud to serve families in Naples, Florida, through my private practice, Naples Behavioral Pediatric Therapy. My mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps children, teens, and young adults build emotional strength and confidence. Every child and family is unique, which is why I take a personalized and collaborative approach to therapy and evaluation.
I specialize in child and adolescent therapy, SPACE Therapy for parents, psychological and psychoeducational evaluations, and therapy for college students. My goal is to help your child or teen understand their experiences, manage emotions, and develop practical coping skills that support long-term growth at home, in school, and in relationships.
I offer both in-person sessions in Naples and secure telehealth sessions for clients located anywhere in Florida, Nebraska, and PSYPACT-participating states.
