Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
It’s no secret. Many boys hate the idea of therapy or even just talking about their feelings. I’ve been working almost exclusively with boys (ages 5-18) and their families for over 15 years. If your son and family feel overwhelmed or distant from each other, I take a fresh look at your family’s unique strengths and build on these to work through conflict, reconnect, and re-establish joy as a daily practice. My work is driven by the latest research in neurobiology. Through CBT with me, boys gain greater insight and skills to face the pressures and concerns that burden boys of all ages today, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, social challenges, and OCD. I use complementary techniques to help boys identify their values and change their relationship to problems — so boys don’t let problems define them. Problems are opportunities for growth. I can form a compassionate and fun connection with your son; from there, I team up with him in working towards tailored solutions to his problems so he can successfully jump back into life.
