Hello! I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families. Life can often bring difficult situations in which additional support is helpful.
I enjoy working with children and families to move forward through difficult times. I believe in the dignity of the human person and strive to help clients create balance and feel at peace in their lives by providing psychoeducation and a reflective space to allow clients a place to process their thoughts and feelings. With children, this is often done through play, as play is a child’s natural form of expression. It allows them to assign meaning and words to their experiences. I assist this through building a trusting relationship and by using narration, reflection, and asking questions to help the child gain insight regarding their experience.
Therapeutic Approach:
Children give us clues that they need help through their behavior. This may look like withdrawal, irritability, worrying, impulsivity, distractibility, emotional outbursts, or acting-out behaviors. Throughout my work, I have found that it is important to build trusting relationships and create an atmosphere where clients feel engaged and comfortable. My focus is on understanding a client’s unique needs and circumstances and finding solutions within a collaborative relationship with my client. Therapeutic frameworks I utilize include attachment, developmental, and psychodynamic theories.
I would be happy to connect with you during a free 30-minute consultation to determine if therapy services with me would be a good fit.
I love working with kids, and I specialize in providing therapy and consultative services to young children and their families.
Services:
I offer individual and family therapy, as well as shorter term developmental consultations and school observations. I strongly recommend regular parents-only sessions to allow us to further assist your child’s progress and growth.
Areas of special focus:
Anxiety, attachment, depression, trauma, selective mutism, ADHD, sensory integration issues, emotional self-regulation, and behavioral self-regulation in young children.
Many people have difficulty adjusting to life changes. I provide therapeutic assistance to children through life changes, such as starting school, the birth of a sibling, moving, grief and loss, or separation from a significant caregiver.
