About My Clients
I work with children who have a range of difficulties in social, emotional, and behavioral realms. I also work with parents of special needs children, helping in how to parent their unique child, as well as individual therapeutic issues that may have arisen since becoming a parent. In addition, I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or life transitions.
My Background and Approach
I’ve spent the majority of my career in school based settings, working as a therapist and teacher at an outplacement therapeutic school, as well as providing individual and group therapy to children and parents. My expertise is in working with children with anxiety, ADHD, ASD, and mood disorders who may be struggling to thrive at home, in a traditional school setting, or in their social realm. I have extensive experience in collaborating with school systems and in writing and understanding IEPs. I believe strongly in collaboration with caregivers in order to better understand each unique family structure and system and I strive to enable caregivers with the necessary tools to understand themselves and to navigate the challenges that may arise as a caregiver. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where children and families can feel heard, understood, and supported.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I strongly believe in the power of relationships, and that it is through the therapeutic relationship that growth can take root. I believe that each individual is doing the best they can in any situation with the resources they have access to in that moment. I believe that behavior is a form of communication, and that behaviors deemed "challenging" are an indication that more resources are needed in order for a person to access more positive forms of communication. As a parent of two young children, I believe that parenting is hard! I believe that we are all deserving of love, and that we all deserve to feel understood and cared for.
