The following services are offered for children, adolescents, and their families*:
Parent Coaching and Training: Most families start here. I work with parents to define and implement strategies and techniques that empower you to support your child’s therapeutic goals at home with confidence. We'll work together to refine skills that will be the right fit to nurture your child’s success.
Individual Therapy: This is one-on-one time I spend with your child. Depending on the issue being addressed, sessions may incorporate play therapy, psychoeducation, skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused brief therapy. For all ages, I integrate play, activities, movement and creative arts into sessions as appropriate. Younger children often best express themselves through play-based activities. To help my older clients navigate adolescence with authenticity and integrity, I serve as a compassionate listener and sounding board, exploring feelings, coping strategies and strengths.
Family Therapy: This is any combination of parents, children, siblings and other important family members together in the room. Areas of focus for family sessions include improving communication, strengthening relationships, recognizing successes and consolidating gains.
Other Services
In addition to my direct work with children, teens, parents and families, I offer workshops and presentations, as well as custom consultation and coaching for parents, educators, social workers, therapists and other caring adults interested in supporting children’s success. If you are interested in having me work with you or your organization in this capacity, please contact me directly to explore possibilities.
