The focus of my practice is to work with individuals and families. My experience includes working with children and teenagers with a broad variety of challenges including anxiety, bullying, depression, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, ADHD, developmental disorders. I have used play therapy with younger children; providing support to parents around behavior management and relationship development; and interpersonal and talk therapy with older children and adolescents. Medical illness results in disruption of the family system. Therapy can reduce anxiety, the sense of shock, the feeling of being overwhelmed and loss of control. Solution focused goals may help relieve stress and reduce trauma for the patient and family members. A collaborative approach to your care may offer you additional support.
