Emotional upsets are turning activities into overwhelming events. Transitions are SO HARD. Talking, encouraging, consequences and rewards are not helping. Do you feel stuck and worry how all this chaos will impact your child? Parenting is the toughest job you've ever had. Some days, you feel exhausted when you drop your child off at school and wonder how you will get through until evening. It's heart wrenching to see fear, anger or sadness take hold of your child. I can help. It's time for more support for your child and you. I have worked with children for 12+ years. Connecting with children is my specialty. I will support your child as they express their internal thoughts and external experiences through words, play, art and puppets. Over time, therapy will improve your child's self-esteem, behaviors, communication and overall interactions with themselves and others. One of my extra-special areas of expertise is helping children who have a lost a very close person or pet. This is a devasting experience for a child. The absence will always be felt, regardless of how much time a child had with their lost loved one. I can provide your child with the space they need to express their distress and confusion. Schedule a free 30-minute consultation by clicking on REQUEST AN INTRO CALL or REQUEST APPOINTMENT. Let's talk about your concerns and explore how therapy can help your child. After our consultation, we can schedule your child’s first in-person session at my office in West Los Angeles. Take the initial step to put your child back on the path to wellness. I look forward to speaking with you.
