Sometimes being a kid isn’t easy......emotion regulation and navigating through school, family and friends can be confusing.

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process in which your child, your family and I work together to help explore and understand the concerns that brought your child into therapy and make the changes you all are seeking. Taking their lead to create a mindful trusting, safe container in which they can feel seen, heard and supported, children are able to draw upon their inner strengths. Along with tools and consistent reinforcement, self-efficacy and distress tolerance is built, emotional resilience increased and therapeutic goals can be obtained!

I work with and offer support children suffering and living with a variety of concerns, including:

• anxiety

• depression

• attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

• compromised nervous system…..emotional dysregulation

• life-threatening disorders

• anger

• physical and emotional traumas

• family crisis

• grief and loss

• life transitions

Kids and their families don’t have to go at it alone.

As children function daily within a family, I ask that parents participate in their child’s individual counseling by meeting for collateral sessions often to discuss how treatment is going, explore and evaluate areas concerns and gain/reinforce parenting tools and skills.
