About

Through my experience in working with children, adolescents and their families, I have found that the most effective way to provide treatment is to do so in a non-judgmental, caring and warm environment. I use various modalities to work with the whole family unit and not just the child in dealing with the child's behavior and diagnosis. This eclectic approach to treatment include: CBT, EMDR, Love & Logic, Mindfulness, Creative Therapy, Parent Training and Play Therapy. Every child is unique and therefore, every treatment approach is specialized for that child’s unique experience.
"Water the flowers not the weeds" is a phrase I use often because it resonates with families I work with. Children yearn for praise from their parents and their attention is one of the biggest motivators for their behavior. So often, parents pay negative attention to children's bad behavior which in turn reinforces it.
I have experience in working with special needs children and their families in a school and hospital environment. I can provide treatment for many childhood disorders including, depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. I teach children and families effective communication, limit setting, problem solving, social skills, mindfulness and positive self-talk.
