I specialize in Child and Family Therapy. Listed below are some of the areas I focus on. Most of those mentioned are directed toward the treatment of children and adolescents; however, adult issues and concerns are within my scope of practice and expertise as well. Treatment goals or techniques are chosen to accommodate a client’s needs, desires and abilities during any given phase of the treatment process.

Significant changes in grades, particularly if your child normally maintains high grades
Marked episodes of sadness, tearfulness, or depression with or without social withdrawal or isolation.
Decreased interest in previously enjoyed activities.
Overly aggressive behavior such as destruction of property, fighting, verbal abusiveness, biting, kicking xxor hitting
Sudden changes in appetite
Mood volatility
Excessive school absenteeism or tardiness
Signs of alcohol, drug or other substance use (such as solvents or prescription drug abuse)
Problems in developmental transitions such as separation, divorce, relocation or launching
