“I believe that behavior is communication; I’ll help you translate to improve emotional regulation, social successes, & family dynamics. I use several modalities in working with clients and their families to practice and improve skills in emotional regulation and social skills. Art, games, role-plays, meditation and play, I am creative and relaxed in a nurturing environment. My hope for you and your family is to develop a sense of connectedness as a family while promoting your child’s strengths and successes.”
