Navigating childhood and adolescence can be hard enough for an individual, but it's also tough on parents. There are no manuals that come with being a parent. When one person in the family is struggling, the entire family system struggles. I work with children, teens, and their caregivers on finding the tools to navigate through difficult issues. I am a clinician who is experienced to help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, school issues, behavioral challenges, suicidal ideation/self-harm, social challenges, and other mood-related concerns. I believe if the child is thriving, then the family system thrives.
I specialize in working with children and teens with the support of their families. Methods can vary, but I primarily use cognitive-behavioral therapy to build insight and healthy new skills within the individual. I draw from other evidence-based therapeutic models to increase motivation for change and to build distress tolerance in some cases.
Parenting is difficult on a normal day, but parenting during a global pandemic has taken a toll on all families in one way or another. I'm happy to work with your child and your family to build resilience in moving forward. I'm happy to provide a free 15 minute consultation phone call if you have any questions and to discuss how I may help your child.
