Together we explore and relieve difficult feelings, behaviors and thoughts. I work with all family members to create structure and improve communication and connection. If needed I can work collaboratively with families and schools to understand the child's triggers, behaviors and reactions at school in order to reduce behavioral symptoms. I also work with other medical and behavioral care providers to support the family in addressing and improving family harmony and growth.
