With over 20 years of experience across school systems, outpatient mental health programs, hospital settings, and juvenile justice environments, I provide advanced consultation and clinical supervision to therapists, schools, and organizations serving adolescents.

My work bridges individual clinical treatment and systems level intervention. I specialize in the psychological patterns commonly seen in high achieving, perfectionistic adolescents, particularly girls who present as externally successful while internally struggling with anxiety, identity instability, and rigid self evaluation. These presentations are frequently misunderstood or minimized within academic environments because performance masks distress.

In addition to supervising clinicians, I consult with schools and youth serving organizations seeking to better understand and address:

Perfectionism and high functioning anxiety in academic settings
Recognizing early warning signs, preventing burnout, and reducing performance based identity collapse in high achieving students.

Adolescent identity development in high pressure environments
Supporting healthy autonomy, resilience, and emotional regulation amid social media influence, peer comparison, and academic competition.

Family systems dynamics that impact student mental health
Addressing parental accommodation of anxiety, achievement driven family cultures, and communication patterns that reinforce distress.

School based mental health frameworks
Improving collaboration between clinical providers, guidance departments, administration, and families. Supporting effective response to school refusal, panic symptoms, academic avoidance, and social withdrawal.

Program development and psychoeducational initiatives
Designing workshops, parent education programs, faculty training, and structured group interventions focused on resilience, confidence, and anxiety reduction.

Ethical integration of therapy and coaching models
Clarifying scope of practice, documentation standards, and boundary management when working with high functioning adolescents and young adults.

My consultation approach is structured, developmentally informed, and systems aware. I emphasize strong case conceptualization, measurable intervention planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical clarity. I work with schools and organizations to strengthen early identification of at risk students while supporting sustainable mental health practices within high performance cultures.

Clinicians and institutions seeking specialized expertise in adolescent perfectionism, high functioning anxiety, and identity development are invited to connect to explore collaborative opportunities.
