Children and adolescents ages 6-19: anxiety or fear - depression - sexual abuse - physical abuse - witnessing domestic violence - exposure to a traumatic event - life transitions - grief/loss - self-harming behaviors (ex: cutting) - parental divorce - communication issues/social skills - peer-relationship issues - self-esteem - stress reduction - problematic sexual behaviors - parenting skills/co-parenting challenges
I specialize in trauma with extensive training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a Window Between Worlds facilitator, I enjoy incorporating art expression into treatment. I am certified in the Circle of Security parenting model which allows me to help caregivers reflect upon children's attachment needs in order to promote secure attachment.
Trusting someone with your child or adolescent's mental health can be frightening, especially when it feels like you or your child are already in such a delicate space. I invite you to contact me so I can answer any questions you may have. I provide complimentary 15-minute phone consultations where I explore if my skills align with your concerns and goals.
