Working with young children is a unique skill. As young children are less able to verbalize their stressors than are older children and adults, I utilize non-verbal tools to help them both express their needs and help them to work on solutions. I use sand tray therapy in my office which gives children ownership over their "world" by using figurines and toys to play out their personal situations. I also use art therapy with young children; both free form and structured activities during the session. Playing games with a young child gives me a way to learn how they adapt to rules and limits as well as giving the child a way to experience some fun while in the midst of productive therapy

Through biofeedback and other progressive modalities, we can interrupt that persistent OCD tendency, anxiety, or agitation, and restore sleep to the tired, angry, miserable child. Some things are best done by treating the neurons directly, and not through play therapy. We will work collaboratively with your regular play or talk therapist to ensure all integrates well in the child's care.

I strive to make my work with young children fun and engaging. I enjoy working closely with parents and caregivers to ensure that we are supporting each child in every possible way. It is equally as important to me to ensure that parents know that they are not alone. Parenting is hard and it doesn't come with a manual. I believe that each family system is doing the best they can with the resources they have. My approach involves identifying small changes that make a big difference, which allows families the benefit of seeing improvement quickly. Whether it's a behavior concern, sleep training, or anxiety, I take a collaborative approach to helping kids and families thrive.

I see children from the age of four years and up, many of whom are referred for behavioral and emotional difficulties such as frequent and long-lasting tantrums, poor emotional regulation, defiance, physical aggression toward parents or siblings, and/or high degrees of anxiety. In these situations I meet with the child and his or her parent(s), so that I can see the interactions and better discern whether this is a strictly behavioral or a developmental problem. Treatment options may include parent coaching, family counseling, individual counseling (for older kids), referral for psychological or neurological testing, and referral to a developmental pediatrician, among others.

Children act out on how they feel; if they are having behavioral issues, it is usually because there is something off-kilter with them, or with their situation. If you are able to identify the cause, many times the behavior will significantly subside. Thus, it pays to explore, with the child, what they are experiencing and what might be causing them to feel stressed.
