Child, adolescent and teen therapy

Growing up is not what it used to be, and parenting the way we were parented is usually not the answer.

In the age of high speed information overload, our children are exposed to ideas, influences, and stories that are difficult to wrap their heads around.

Communicating with our children has become even more difficult as the many options for communication seem to endlessly propagate (texting, emailing, skyping, etc...).

My psychotherapy practice centers around the idea that communication, boundaries, and structure, both physical and emotional, are integral in helping our children grow into the healthy people we know they can be.

My approach is humanistic as well as practical/behavioral. It focuses on the entire family dynamic, not just the identified problem.

I specialize in children and adolescents with issues such as:

- Defiance
- Manipulative behavior
- Post-traumatic stress
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Eating disorders
- Self-harming behaviors
- ADHD
- Poor coping skills
