I have worked in many different settings with children, adolescents and adults.
I am a caring and compassionate therapist who is committed to helping people make needed changes in their lives. Sometimes change is not possible and we need the tools to adapt to those situations that are beyond our control. I have supported many clients in the therapeutic relationship to learn about themselves and to focus and build on the strengths that each person has. I have extensive experience with adolescents and children and i have always worked very closely with parents so that we can all work towards the same goals.

Has your anxiety been rearing its head? Anxiety/worry were put in overdrive due to this pandemic. There is so much uncertainty and feelings of being uncomfortable in situations we never had a problem with before. Our ways of coping were either taken away or we had to adapt. There have been many transitions and unknowns that we still are coping with. I am here to tell you that Anxiety/Worry is predictable and only wants 2 things: Certainty and to be Comfortable. Anxiety cannot be taken away BUT you can with work through the anxiety. Take back the power and learn to be confident that you can deal with whatever comes your way.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in 11803 provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in 11803 build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
