I help kids, tweens and teens:
- learn effective ways to solve problems
- deal with anxiety, depression, and anger
- decrease behavior issues, reduce aggression
- build friendships, deal with peer pressure and relationships
- gain communication skills and better executive functioning
- build self-esteem and self-confidence.
I believe in the goodness and greatness of your child and focus on their strengths while addressing their challenges and problems, individualizing therapy to meet their unique needs.
If you are wondering what to do to help your child, you’ve come to the right place.
My experience allows me to draw on a wealth of resources and skills to assist the therapy process, including; talk, art, stories, games, play, role-play, imagery and homework assignments to engage, teach and support the client while facilitating growth, progress and success.
I’ve worked with all types of children & families including: highly gifted, twice exceptional, shy & withdrawn, outgoing, ADD/ADHD, Asperger’s, ASD, overly friendly, special education, emotionally disturbed, anxiety, depression, oppositional, defiant, bullies, victims of bullying, bossy, demanding, lonely, left out, perfectionists, over-achieving, under-achieving, low self-esteem, suicidal, grief, peer pressure, family illness, adjusting to change & transitions, divorce, moving, trauma, abuse, cutting, anger, emotional regulation,
Years as a school counselor, school-based therapist, and as a parent of five adult children, I’ve worked with all aspects and issues and know what does and doesn’t work. Counseling can provide a safe place for your child to explore their feelings, identify the issues and learn new life skills.
