Understanding what is motivating a child’s behavior often takes a trained eye. The therapeutic relationship will help foster an understanding, work towards preventing and managing psychological based distress for both parents and children. Children often do not have the words to let parents know why they are acting the way they do. Parents wonder is this just a phase my child is going through? As a therapist my role is to gain an understanding of what makes your child do what he or she is doing. Working together with parents is a critical part of the therapeutic process to foster your child's success.
My training in clinical psychology, child development and parenting provides the much needed skills in working with children and parents. My unique ability in connecting with children helps create the therapeutic process appear playful and reassuring. This provides parents the confidence and trust as we work together in understanding your child.
Being a parent is the hardest job one can have. Children do not come with owner manuals. Reading books and going on the internet is not the same as an interactive relationship that puts together the pieces based on the individuals involved. Please contact me to start the process.
