KLD Peds Psychology

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a board certification in Child and Adolescent treatment. I am currently licensed in Missouri. I have been a practicing psychologist for over a dozen years and have a specialization in the treatment of young children, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children. I’ve worked in the outpatient setting, multi-disciplinary medical clinics, as well as inpatient medical units. I now have a private practice with a focus on treatment of young children and parent training. I utilize a behavioral and cognitive-behavioral approach to treatment, promoting positive, healthy behaviors and healthy relationships. I am a member of the Society of Pediatric Psychology and have a commitment to life-long learning. I am committed to confidentiality and guided by professional ethics. Approach You are the expert on your child and family! As a psychologist, my aim is to create a partnership with parents who may have questions or struggles while navigating concerns in the early years of parenting. When children are struggling with day-to-day behaviors, it can be impactful to the whole family. There is no parenting guide and no one pathway or solution that is right for every child. However, with the right set of tools and strategies, we can make changes in those behaviors that are getting in the way. My goal is to collaboratively identify tools and resources to empower you as a parent to achieve the goals you set for your child and family.
