Children and Teens

Children and Teens

Children and teens require a specially trained therapist that understands how to develop a meaningful relationship based on mutual respect and dignity.  I offer young people an opportunity to use expressive arts, sand tray and play therapy, as well as traditional talk therapy for older teens. I work closely with parents to help their children through challenges.

I work with a wide variety of  issues: divorce, parent/child conflict, loss, anger, eating disorders, anxiety, bullying/teasing, peer pressure, drugs and alcohol, depression, learning and behavioral disabilities, body image, and sexuality and gender identity concerns. As a former Sex Educator in public schools, I have led Parent/Teen communication workshops for over 15 years, helping young people feel empowered throughout puberty and adolescence. I am a strong QLGBT ally.
