My unique approach

My therapy approach begins with a consultation with the client (or parents of a child /adolescent client) to learn about presenting concerns and to gather a thorough history of the client’s bio/psycho/social functioning.

While talking is an important component of the therapy, I also incorporate art activities (primarily clay) to facilitate communication and to connect deeply with each client. In our sessions, I encourage the child to take the lead. Through our interactions, I observe, assess and seek to understand the client’s behaviors, learning style, and emotional regulation abilities. With warmth and support, I collaborate with the client to develop coping skills and effective strategies to address areas of emotional and behavioral concerns.
