Child and Adolescent Therapy

​

Children and adolescents face anxiety and stress in life but may not have the skills they need to manage the conditions they are facing. Seeking help from peers or following peers’ suggestions is a common practice for adolescents, but one that may be risky, or sometimes even dangerous.

​

Anxiety in children can manifest in forms of irritability, defiance, school refusal, and avoiding activities with friends and family. In working with children, my primary focus is to listen and establish a trusting and a safe environment. I view parents' involvement as a crucial component for a continuous flow of support from the therapy session to their home. Families want the best for their children but may lack the skills needed to create an environment for understanding and growth.  My job is to support the development of those skills.

​

My ultimate therapy goal is to provide a safe atmosphere that is therapeutic and non-judgmental, with compassion and respect for all family members.  I will work with you in establishing trusting and nurturing relationships that can support the changes you want to achieve.
