My main specialty age group, and my lifelong joy is working with children and adolescents. I have spent many years learning as much as possible from books, trainings, parents, teachers, children and adolescents themselves; the learning never stops!
With a unique ability to empathize and join with children, we strive to understand their worldview and how they experience the relationships in their lives, so we can then use both clinical knowledge and experience to help them to communicate their feelings and needs to others. If this is not possible due to age, learning or communication differences, we try our best to interpret sometimes confusing behaviors to their caregivers, so that they may grow in their understanding and compassion toward their child.
I truly believe that all children have greatness in them!
