Child Therapy

Stressful life events can interfere with a child’s behavioral, social and educational functioning while also disrupting their self esteem and parental bond. My approach toward child focused psychotherapy begins with a detailed assessment of a child’s developmental history and behavioral and/or emotional concerns leading to a treatment plan which includes a combination of play therapy, talk therapy and behavioral interventions fine tuned to meet the individual needs of your child. I believe that psychotherapy with children is enhanced when it involves a psychologist’s close collaboration with parents and, when appropriate, school staff. I work to foster a safe and supportive environment to reach a deep understanding of the roots of a child’s behavioral patterns, while supporting him or her in developing the skills to manage frustration and stress, communicate emotions and reach forward toward their full potential.
