I work with children and teens of all ages struggling with a variety of issues, including:
Emotional Regulation
Anxiety
Irritability
Trauma
Grief and Loss
Aggression
Tantrums
Caregiver Stress
Adoption and/or Foster Care
Discipline
Autism Spectrum Disorder
ADHD
I use a variety of evidence based treatment interventions, often pulling from multiple modalities in order to best meet the needs of each unique family. These treatments include but are not limited to the following models:
My ultimate goal is to help families resolve any issues they may be facing and guide them toward a place where they are confident that therapy is no longer needed. Sometimes, families come to me for shorter-term support, advice, and coaching on specific concerns. I usually recommend planning for as few as four sessions in those cases.
However, for most children I see it will likely take longer to dig deeper, further explore the issue, and process everything properly. Treatment length is typically 6 months to a year and a half. Whatever the situation, I'm here to help and support you and your child's long-term relationship. I will help you gain the confidence and skills to respond to your child's needs and support their social and emotional development so you can continue to thrive long after our work is done.
