Every
child
is different which often makes remediation difficult and frustrating; therefore I work from a Biopsychosocial Model.
As a School Psychologist/Licensed Psycho-Educational Specialist I have extensive training and experience working with
children
and adolescents that struggle with learning, emotion, and social skills. Early identification and remediation of lagging skills are associated with greater academic success, improved interpersonal relationships, higher earnings, greater employment stability, and lower likelihood of involvement with the criminal justice system (Aos, Lieb, Mayfield, Miller, & Pennucci, 2004).

One of my specialties is working with
children
and adolescents.
Throughout life, we experience a variety of highs and lows. Some of our lows can be much more challenging to handle than others. It is my belief that counseling is a process of self-discovery. Through the counseling process you are able to uncover tools to help you become better equipped to handle the unexpected lows that may occur throughout life. A little support can make a tough situation much brighter, and make all the difference for a healthier you.

I work with parents and
children
with learning, behavioral and emotional needs. If you are struggling with your
child
's behavior, feel that your family and friends do not understand your
child
or are judging your parenting, and have "tried everything," I would like to offer a safe place for you and your
child
to talk and get support. If you have concerns with your
child
's learning process and suspect that your
child
may have a learning disability, ADHD, or Autism a psycho-educational evaluation can help to identify strengths and weaknesses, factors that impede learning, and may result in a diagnosis.

Child Therapists
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
