Childhood is so different from when you and I were kids. With the increased demand in school, the presence of technology and social media, rates of childhood anxiety and depression have significantly increased, and there seems to be no end in sight to these statistics. In working with children, I bring in many evidenced based practices to assist them in developing coping strategies to manage a variety of issues such as: stress, anxiety, and depression, suicidal and parasuicidal behaviors, increase in ability to problem solve and engage in positive decision making, decrease defiance and oppositional behaviors, and increase their self-confidence, and self-esteem. In working with children, the parents are naturally included, where we review ways to promote positive parent-child interactions, and equip you with skills to assist your child in living more freely without feeling weighed down.
