Areas of focus
- In family consultations, I help parents understand their child’s developmental needs and challenges, reviewing current parenting strategies and creating step-by-step plans to restore emotional comfort in the family and address parenting difficulties.
- With adolescents and children, I address personal struggles, crises, and emotional challenges using foundational cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, and developmental disorders.
- In therapeutic sessions for children, I support kids with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and learning disabilities by integrating ABA techniques, DIR/Floortime, multisensory learning, and cognitive-behavioral approaches.
- I conduct comprehensive psychological assessments for children from age 2 using modern standards, providing detailed reports and personalized recommendations.
- If you're unsure about your concerns, we’ll clarify them during the initial session and develop a clear action plan.
