Kids and Teens
With twenty years of experience working with elementary through high school-aged youth, I bring a unique perspective of practical experience blended with my educational background. Youth are at such a vulnerable and formative stage in their development and often the presence of another adult can help youth and their families navigate life challenges. Whether it is emotional regulation, anger management, trauma, divorce, bullying, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ADD, loss, grief, life transition, self-esteem issues, conduct disorders, or other struggles youth are facing we can tackle the situation head-on.​​​
In addition to using Lifespan Integration Therapy to address trauma, we can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help uproot negative thought patterns underlying depression and anxiety, as well as develop emotion regulation skills and time management skills associated with ADHD, ADD, and conduct disorders.
​
Understanding that the needs of youth differ from adults, I approach youth with a blend of creativity, art therapy, and play therapy depending on individual needs and goals.​
With a compassionate approach and an understanding of the potential of each child, I am ready to partner with you and your child so that they can reach their full potential and build a bright future.
