CHILD & FAMILY THERAPY

"Defenseless as babies are, they have mothers at their command, families to protect the mothers, societies to support the structure of families, and traditions to give a cultural continuity to a system of tending and training."
-Erik H. Erikson

When I work with children I try to create and support an environment that will help them thrive. My first goal is to help the parents so that they can help their children..

I teach parenting skills, inform on developmental and special need issues, and address the family’s relational and dynamic issues.

I occasionally see the child individually to help alleviate some of the burden on contemporary families due to the shrinking support system for families in our culture.

I also help with school-related issues by supporting good communication between the child’s parents and school, and by consulting with the school regarding possible changes needed to address the child’s needs.

When a child presents with trauma issues or special needs, I will offer individual therapy.
