Therapy for neurodivergent kids and teens in Westlake Village
If your child is struggling and you’re not sure what would help, you’re in the right place. I work with kids and teens ages 10 and up, in person and online across California.

Starting with the relationship
Kids and teens open up when they feel safe, not when they feel managed. Early sessions focus on getting to know your child and what their days actually feel like, at school, at home, and with friends.
My work is neurodivergent-affirming. That means we’re not trying to make your child act more typical. We’re helping them understand how their brain works, build skills that fit it, and feel better about who they are.
Common reasons families reach out: anxiety, low mood, school refusal, meltdowns and shutdowns, social struggles, perfectionism, a recent diagnosis, and conflict at home.
You stay involved
Teens need some privacy to speak freely, and parents need enough information to help. We’ll talk through consent, confidentiality, and how we’ll stay in touch during our first session, so everyone knows what to expect from the start.
You know your child better than anyone, and your read on what’s happening shapes the work. Many parents also come away with a clearer sense of what their child needs at home and at school.
The practical details
Ages 10 and up
I work with kids, teens, and young adults from age 10, in person in Westlake Village and by telehealth across California.
Individual or family sessions
Your teen can be seen on their own, or we can work with the whole family. Sometimes we do both.
Insurance
I’m in network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Carelon, and Cigna for individual therapy. Family sessions are private pay.
