ADOLESCENT THERAPY

By creating a strong treatment bond with adolescents, especially male teens, I support clients by:

-helping them identify and express feelings

-teaching Cognitive Therapy tools so teens understand the impact of their self-talk and learn how to increase secure thoughts rather than insecure self-talk

-helping them identify what they need and ask for it in constructive ways

I actively work with parents collaterally to help parents learn to deal with their teen’s behaviors in helpful ways.

CHILD THERAPY

Using drawing, art projects, or board game play, I help children learn about their feelings and how to manage them.

Sand Tray therapy is an approach where children create a picture using animals and other figurines.  The interactions between the figures are used to help the child express aspects of themselves.  I bring over 25 years experience working with children to each interaction.
