My practice involves children ages 3+ with emotional and/or behavioral symptoms. The majority of my patient population includes children suffering from Anxiety (which can involve Separation Anxiety, Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Depression and other mood-related issues, low self-esteem, Attachment Disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder and behavioral disturbances.
Many of the children I work with come in to address socialization issues, either through 1:1 therapy or through my Social Skills Group for Kids. My groups are targeted to improve socialization skills and/or teach coping skills to handle conflicts and other difficulties. I offer 2 groups, one for elementary aged kids and the other for middle schoolers. I specialize in diagnostic evaluations and treatment for pediatric populations.
I use a supportive and individualized approach to treating my patients while implementing Cognitive-Behavioral methods to teach adaptive coping skills. I work with families collaboratively to develop behavior-modification programs when needed to provide structure in the home. I offer positive parenting techniques to reinforce pro-social behaviors.
