As a therapist, I love working with children: learning about their families, their strengths, challenges, the problems which are worrying them and affecting their behavior. In our sessions we play and create things together, as play is the medium of communication for children in therapy, equivalent to adults' verbal engagement. Through talk and play, we develop an authentic emotional connection, in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Trust and collaboration are essential to the work of therapy for children as well as adults.

As a clinical psychologist, I have devoted my career to supporting the social-emotional development of children and adolescents. While the specific focus of therapy is individualized according to each child’s needs, much of the work I do centers around helping individuals develop self-awareness, healthy relationships, problem solving skills, and the ability to identify, regulate, and express emotions adaptively. I also regularly collaborate with parents to identify and address patterns of behavior and communicate with their children more effectively.

Improving our lives or relationships, or helping our children do so, may seem like a daunting challenge, yet we know when change is needed. Fortunately, we all have within us a natural capacity for growth and well-being that is best facilitated in the context of relationships that nurture the deepest parts of your being and awaken your strengths. Over the past 20 years I have gained a deep appreciation for the complexity of human experience and the pain and difficulties involved in living with emotional or relational problems in our lives or in our children's lives.

Re: children and adolescents, they often have behavioral issues that appear confusing. This includes ADHD, unresolved stress, unsupported grief, addiction/recovery issues. Families of all types can have these ongoing struggles. Conflict resolution is paramount between family members. In addition, counseling the parents re: their own depression, anxiety or personality issues is paramount to completing the cycle of ongoing family distress.
