I work with children of all ages, starting the age of five. Many therapeutic techniques are used to engage a child including: Interactive/Dramatic Play, Sandtray, Art & Drawing, and various Therapy/Strategy games. I've worked successfully with most issues ranging from situational circumstances such as grief, divorce, transitions, etc. through mild to severe depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, eating disorders, self hatred (cutting), abuse and bipolar disorder. 

I have a specialization in child and adolescent treatment. Many years were spent working in a psychiatric hospital with children and then with the Alameda County Social Services treating children with significant issues who had been removed from parental custody. More importantly, I'm able to connect with and understand children and teens on many levels. Being able to enter into and follow a person's inner world/psyche (with all of it's processes and subtleties) is essential.
