Child & Adolescent Therapy
Drawing on extensive training and experience in working with children and teens, I offer individual treatment starting at age 4 and family therapy for younger clients. I practice play therapy with children and talk therapy with teens, offering above all, a place where they can be themselves and feel accepted. Through treatment kids can find ways to express emotions, advocate for their needs and engage in behaviors that facilitate their goals.
Childhood is the ideal time for mental health intervention because young people are more flexible to make changes and can adjust their trajectory before entering adulthood. Effective child therapy often requires family involvement, so I work closely with parents, guiding them toward the best ways to support their children.
People come to me to work through:
Depression
Anxiety and Specific Fears
Issues at school
Challenges in friendships
Processing changes in family structure like divorce or separation
Support for ADHD and Autism (ASD)
Executive function
Twice exceptional children
Acting out behaviors and anger
LGBTQIA+ youth - coming out, gender identity, sexuality…
Transitional age youth
Adjustment to middle school, high school and college
