In my work with children, I focus on increasing coping skills so that they can learn how to respond more adaptively to situations.
I specialize in helping children + adults build ‘toolkits’ - a set of skills that can help clients better cope with current life difficulties and have success dealing with future challenges. I’m very interactive and teach a variety of coping skills that individuals can apply immediately to learn how to successfully manage daily as well as their extraordinary stressors. Clients gain skills that become a foundation of stability, meaning our work helps with current problems and also brings long-term solutions for sustainable health + resiliency.
