CHILDREN

PERINATAL/POSTPARTUM

In modern day society children are often times expected to act like adults with their behavior, emotion regulation and problem-solving skills although they do not have the capacity to do so. Children have their unique set of needs and require specialized services in the therapy office. Play therapy techniques and art therapy techniques are tools I like to use to help facilitate age appropriate discussion, psycho-education and supportive therapy.

Motherhood is one of the most special times in a woman's life. It’s a tremendously rewarding experience that comes with many new feelings, transitions and adjustments.

Whether the woman is a first-time-mother or a seasoned mother the proper support can make the world of a difference for her and her family.
