Working with you and your family in a friendly and supportive environment is a responsibility I take very seriously. Some areas of specialty include working to increase the connection between parents and children, from toddlers to teenagers or even adult children. I also have extensive knowledge of foster/adoptive families, blended families and other family dynamics that come with their own challenges.
Family counseling may include treatment of mental health and behavioral disorders including Depression, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Non-suicidal self-injury (cutting) as well as other disorders diagnosed in childhood. In family counseling, we may collaborate with outside resources including teachers and physicians to help them become a part of the solution. Some families find that participation in family counseling often helps to resolve problems without the need for medication.
