My Approach

Executive Functioning

I will work closely with your child to develop and practice 8 powerful skills that will empower them to manage:

• Impulse control: think before acting

• Emotional control: keep feelings in check

• Flexible thinking: adjust behavior to unexpected changes

• Working memory: keep key information in mind

• Self-monitoring: evaluate how they are doing

• Planning and prioritizing: decide on a goal and a plan to meet it

• Task initiation: take action and get started

• Organization: keep track of things, physically and mentally

Treatment Strategies

The foundation of my treatment is based on relationships and ensuring that your child feels safe, supported, and that parents voices are heard.

I take an individualized, hands-on approach with each child, and leverage a number of clinical strategies including:

• Play Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Exposure Therapy

• Choice-Based Exercises

• Meditation, mindfulness, and deep breathing

• Yoga

My Philosophy

A core component of the treatment I offer is based on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). This is an approach that allows children to understand and manage their emotions, which enables them to be successful in school.

My work with children utilizes SEL tools to help them develop social and emotional competencies such as:

• Self awareness

• Emotional understanding

• Self management

• Responsible decision making

• Relationship skills
