Therapist Overview
I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. I provide play therapy, individual psychotherapy, child parent psychotherapy, parent consultation, developmental assessments, and psychological evaluations. I have an eclectic approach to working with and helping meet the needs of those I serve. This approach is guided by psychodynamic principles to understand and address the underlying issues leading to one’s challenges. A crucial piece to my approach is consultation and collaboration with parents to facilitate the improvement of children’s development and psychological well-being, as well as that of the family. I have extensive experience treating children, adolescents, and families struggling with problems related to separation and reunion, bereavement and loss, trauma, adoption, school failure and pressures, social skills, and emotion understanding and regulation. I earned a doctoral degree in Developmental Psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School o
