Are you looking for a local therapist who specializes in children and teens? Does your son or daughter seem anxious, sad/depressed or withdrawn? Has your child been struggling in school or with social relationships? I would love to help. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families. I believe that effective therapy is based on a trusting relationship that empowers and makes space for positive change. My experience includes academic/school problems, behavioral issues, anxiety/depression, grief and loss, and social skills deficits. My approach is strength-based and non-pathologizing while highlighting your child's natural assets.
I utilize mindfulness based relaxation, art as therapy, play therapy, bibliotherapy, psycho-education and humor through a narrative lens to connect, help and support your child. I have an extensive background in child development and have a unique understanding of some of the issues that children, adolescents, and families experience.
Collaboratively we will work together to address your family's needs, improve communication, and bring about the change desired for your child and family. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey to wellness. Take the first step and call me today and we can explore your story.
