“You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
— AA Milne
My Office
My both in person and virtual office is setup as a comfortable and fun place for children to express their feelings and emotions. Often times children are unable to express verbally their thoughts when they experience behaviors and emotional issues, so when I use play intervention skills with children they are able to open up and share their experiences and emotions.
Play Intervention
I also believe it is important to educate children about their difficulties through play intervention strategies. My office includes many play intervention toys for children to be able to learn about their issues, deal with highly stressful emotions, and learn appropriate coping and social skills.
For Older Children
I focus on using DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) as a framework for older children and adolescents. Through DBT older children and adolescents learn many skills, such as mindfulness, being able to effectively communicate, build social skills, and learn to cope with distressful emotions and impulsive behaviors.
