SPECIFIC INFORMATION REGARDING MY WORK WITH CHILDREN:

When assisting children in navigating a challenge, whether social, emotional or academic, I always consider the family system that the child is a part of.
The family system is impacted by the child and his or her struggles as well as the child being impacted by issues and concerns that exist in the family.
This inter-connectedness makes it most useful to always appreciate all of these elements when determining how best to proceed.

FAMILY SYSTEM:

I CAN ASSIST PARENTS WITH:

Calming strategies
Emotion identification & regulation
Effective communication
Limit setting
Homework routines
Discipline
Fostering resilience
Talking to your child about difficult topics i.e. separation, divorce, death
Creating behavior modification tools and practices
Developing healthy on-line practices
Working through differences of opinion on how to understand or respond to a child’s struggles or behavior
Understanding challenges that a child might be facing and connecting with specialists to determine the specific nature and cause of the challenges.

SCHOOL:

Depending on the particular challenges, I often consult with the school team including:

Teachers, guidance counselors, social workers, special education providers.

I assist families in understanding expectations and obligations that public schools have to meet the needs of students who are struggling.

Working in private practice and in schools provides me with a solid understanding of the ways that parents and schools can work together to understand, support, teach and lift students to function at their highest level – academically, socially and emotionally.
