Is your child experiencing feelings of sadness or anxiety that have begun to impact everyday life and activities? Is your child stressed about school, avoiding school or having trouble with friendships? Do they struggle with focus and attention to the point that it impacts grades as well as relationships? I can help with identifying and managing strong emotions through the development of new coping tools and strategies. I offer a positive and encouraging space to support my clients in acquiring new skills, adapting to and managing life’s changes and bringing out strengths and abilities.
I have a special focus on children and adults with social communication challenges. My approach is strength based, collaborative and skill focused. My work in schools gives me a unique perspective on the environment our children face and the social competencies they need to develop.
As someone with special education certification and a professional education license, I can help interpret the IEP/504 process and compliment work done in the school setting. Conveniently located in downtown Oak Park. Hablo español y es un placer trabajar con familias de herencia Latina.
