Small children aged 3 to 8 typically do not participate in family therapy because the vast majority of therapists consider such children too young to articulate their feelings or understand complex patterns of behavior.
Tool Box for Life and Relational Skills When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to always build skills against life's problems and apply them consistently. Skill development is relational. No one lives in isolation; everyone maintains many types of relationships. Treatment provides chances to improve all relationships by communicating effectively, listening without making assumptions, and avoiding miscommunication that brings on anger and/or conflict.

I work only with children, teens and their families.
The main reason why I became a therapist and life coach was because as a school teacher I came in contact with a lot of children and adolescents who had issues that weren't being addressed properly. I made a commitment and took it upon myself to help children and teens so that they could become happy, confident, independent, self-sufficient members of society. I will help you and your family members get through uncertain and difficult times successfully by working with your child on developing better coping skills, communication skills, more positive behaviors, enhanced self-esteem and different ways to overcome life's adversities.
