Does parenting your child feel overwhelming? Does he seem to have tantrums over everything? Maybe your child is aggressive at home or school and you don’t know why. Is there some anxiety, loss, or trauma? Have your tried everything and nothing is working? Parenting is difficult and your child’s negative behaviors may make you feel like you are not doing a good job. Therapy can not only help your child manage whatever stressors are causing his or her outbursts, but it can also help you understand how to help your child when he or she is overwhelmed. You are not alone on this parenting journey and I can help. As a clinical child psychologist, I specialize in working with young children through preadolescents (0-12). I use a variety of play modalities, as play is a comfortable way for children to communicate and understand the world. Play, sand, and art are some tools that we will use to learn regulation strategies and express emotions in more adaptive ways. I also use a variety of family and attachment based approaches to strengthen relationships and communication between family members. We will work together to improve your child’s behavior. Give me a call and we will conquer this together. I’m here to help.
