I offer coaching and therapy services for children, adolescents, and families, along with special classes and workshops. When working with children, I offer both play therapy and talk therapy--depending on what works best for the individual child. Coaching is geared toward "what can I do/change/improve from now on?" - whereas therapy usually involves the past, present and future.
Sessions are typically 45-50 minutes. Most families find that weekly meetings work best.
