Children and Teens     â€‹â€‹   

 

     I provide psychotherapy services to children and teens through Kidspace, a full-service therapy facility in the Mission District in San Francisco. Parenting is the hardest job in the world, and the most important. I work closely with parents to support them in this work.​

​

     I have a gift for connecting with children and teens: Young people tend to connect and communicate better in a safe and supportive space, where they know their therapist respects them and is committed to earning their trust.​   

​

     From both parent and child, I gather information and perspective about the child's unique nature and strengths, in addition to the challenges.  Often I can indentify or forge the points of intersection between the things they're good at, the things they want for themselves, and the things their parents want for them.​

 

     I support the child's growth and healing with a variety of tools and approaches. We may use the sand tray, writing, games, breath work, free play, enactments and drama. I aim to meet the child where they are with the most effective strategies for their individual needs. I also meet regularly with parents to stay in tune and continue to coordinate so that my work continues to complement and support the parenting work at home. ​
