Additionally I focused my research in graduate school on siblings of chronically ill children as they often by necessity have less time with their parents which can have a variety of outcomes similar to chronic trauma.
I’m also certified in Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) which is a new form of therapy that rapidly alleviates emotional distress as well as physical pain. The term “transformation” refers to the unusual degree of change that occurs when ETT is used. It is a non-drug approach that can bypass the intellect and directly change human emotions.

Parenting is hard. Your days feel like constant battles with tantrums, power struggles, or defiance. Simple tasks take way longer than they should. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and sad that you aren't enjoying parenthood as much as you'd like. You try to stay calm, but irritation, yelling, and guilt often follow. You wonder, “It can’t be this hard for the next 18 years!” From the kiddo throwing his 5th tantrum of the day to the teenager who perplexes parents—shouldn't they be more independent by now, parenting is hard.

What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way.
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.
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.
