If your child is struggling- meltdowns over homework, worry that won't let them sleep, a kid who used to be happy and isn't - you've probably already tried a lot. Therapy isn't about handing you a fix. It's about figuring out what your child already does well and building from there. My office is set up for that work. Kids don't always have words for what's happening inside them, so we play, build, move. The talking comes when they're ready.
I'm a Licensed Social Worker in Pa, working toward my LCSW under clinical supervision. I've worked with children and families in both school and outpatient settings. I've seen what falls apart in the classroom and what falls apart at the kitchen table at 8pm.
I especially love working with kids navigating ADHD, anxiety, big emotions, self-esteem and navigating transitions. Parents are part of the work. You'll leave with real strategies, not only a summary of what your child said.
In addition, I enjoy working with adults, couples and families experiencing major life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting and relational difficulties.
My approach draws from play-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness and somatic work. I am Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 Trained.
If you're ready to take the first step, I'd be glad to hear from you. Reaching out is often the hardest part.
