I have been treating and assessing children for over 30 years. I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents, and gifted individuals. I also treat young adults and adults.
Choosing a therapist for you or your child, needs to be done with great care. A good therapist must not only be a skilled professional, but they must be able to understand the complex world of emotions and how they are communicated through various behaviors, thoughts and helpful or not-so-helpful defenses. Because children are moving through emotional, cognitive, behavioral and social phases which most adults have mastered, it is important that the therapist have significant experience and training in working with children. As important, is the ability to create a safe haven where all things can be shared, explored, understood and mastered. So whether you choose my services or someone else's, be a good consumer.
If you’re concerned about a child or yourself, or if you would simply like some advice please give me a call. I look forward to helping you and your child breathe a little easier.
