Children & Teens

I help kids find their voice.  Behavior is often a way to communicate complicated experiences, emotions and needs. In order for me to fully understand your child’s world, it is most effective when I get to know your family system as a whole.  In this way I can be an objective witness of the way your family functions and each person’s role. I work toward helping your child and your family process the challenges you're facing while encouraging your child to find a greater sense of who they are and their place in the world. I support them to find meaning and give words to the nebulous job of growing up and navigating our increasingly complex world.   

Some issues I treat in child / teen therapy:
·      Social skills / relationships
·      Emotional regulation / emotional intelligence
