I am an experienced child and adolescent therapy, dedicated to working with youth on coping with mental health and life struggles.
Parents and children often perceive the world in different ways. Children often seek instant gratification, are impulsive, and struggle with anxiety and/or depression. In these complex times, children, tweens, and teens are talking openly about sexuality and gender. Parents often don’t understand the way their children think, which then causes conflict. Some children have experienced trauma, which adds another layer of misbehavior and/or difficulties with emotion-regulation.
Specializing in working with children, adolescents, and trauma, I can assist your child in learning to regulate their emotions, make better decisions, and utilize coping skills for anxiety, depression, self harming behaviors, etc. For younger children, this will be done through play and for adolescents, this will be done through learning CBT and mindfulness.
