At the heart of helping your child is understanding that children express how they are feeling through their behavior. Solutions that only target problematic behaviors (i.e. not listening, breaking rules, tantrums, etc..) only provide temporary "quick fixes" that often lead to an endless cycle of new problematic behaviors. In order to truly make a lasting difference in your child's life, your child's social and emotional needs have to be addressed. As an experienced therapist, I understand the fears, anxieties, and courage associated with making the decision to bring your child to therapy.
My approach is caring, thoughtful, and empathic. I will engage your child through activities such as painting, drawing, therapeutic play, drama, movement activities and sand-play to normalize their experience and provide an avenue for addressing problematic behaviors and feelings.
Generally speaking, the goals of our work together will be (1) to better cope with difficult situations and feelings, (2) be more in control without having to resort to problematic behaviors, and (3) support your child's healthy social and emotional growth. I look forward to meeting you and your child! Don't hesitate to email or call with any questions.
