I understand the unique challenges children and adolescents face. My approach considers their developmental stage, cultural background, family history, and individual needs to create a personalized treatment plan.

How I Approach Each Age Group:

• Early Childhood (4-6): I use play therapy to unlock your child's inner world, explore their understanding of reality, and promote lasting positive change. Play serves as a powerful tool to address emotional and social development.

• Middle Childhood & Pre-Adolescence (6-12): Through play, I help children develop emotional regulation, explore their individuality, and strengthen crucial skills. We boost verbal and social abilities, discover coping mechanisms, and enhance emotional intelligence, leading to improved problem-solving skills.

• Adolescence (13-17): I provide a safe space for teens to navigate puberty, explore identity (including self, sexual orientation, and gender), and address peer anxieties. Talk therapy empowers them to build strong relationships, prepare for adulthood, and develop college and career aspirations.
