Child & Adolescent Therapy
I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents with a wide range of mental health issues - specializing in behavioral issues, educational struggles, low self-confidence/self-esteem and marijuana, alcohol and nicotine use.
I use traditional and innovative methods to make therapy less daunting, enabling children and teens to freely express themselves and engage in the process of therapy. Depending on the child/teen's needs (and with the appropriate parental consent) therapy sessions can take place either inside or outside the office. This allows me to connect with children/teens in an environment where they feel most comfortable.
I collaborate with schools, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, doctors and other specialists to better assist in promoting growth and change. I also incorporate play therapy into my practice to help children/teens express their feelings and confront issues. It provides valuable insights into emotional health and promotes growth by allowing children/teens to communicate in a manner that is more natural.
