One of the things I enjoy most is working with parents who are going through a struggle with their kids. Maybe they feel like there’s no connection, they don’t know how to express themselves appropriately, or they don’t know how to reach their children. On top of being parents, there are separate difficulties too, like financial stress, work stress, trouble communicating, etc. In therapy I like to create a space where you can express yourself freely and figure out which tools we can use to deal with these difficulties. I also really enjoy psychoeducation.

Over the years I’ve worked with children and families in a variety of settings. What I came to realize was that I made more of an impact working with the parents. Children deserve protection and a lot of understanding.
