Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting times in a person’s life; however, parents face challenges that can be frustrating and even overwhelming. With over ten years’ experience in child and Youth psychotherapy, I can accompany you to understand your child and adolescent and enter their world. My play based methods readily put children at ease resulting in greater cooperation which supports the children in meeting treatment goals. Through different activities, I empower adolescents to know themselves, identify their strengths, set meaningful goals, and develop new skills to take control of their life and make brighter future.
If you see that your child is struggling with schoolwork, peer relationships, life transitions or experiencing psychological distress such as anxiety and depression you can bring your children for counseling. By adding speech therapy experience, I can also improve your child's academic and cognitive skills, especially if s/he has ADHD or learning disorder.
I have the skills to assess your child from different perspectives to better determine how best to support your child. Rather than simply addressing superficial issues, I believe in treating the roots of problems. I have several academic publications in the fields of working memory training, play therapy, storytelling, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression.
