Children or teens battling adoption-related attachment difficulties or school avoidance face significant emotional challenges. Managing these difficulties requires a nuanced approach. Abandonment fears and difficulty forming secure relationships cripples a child’s social development, while school avoidance disrupts a child's academics and social-emotional well-being. Many families come to me feeling stuck and unable to move forward due to heightened stress related to these issues. I have years of experience working with children, teens and families struggling with adoption-related attachment concerns or school avoidance issues.
I utilize Attachment-Based Family Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure Therapy and work closely with children and families, providing a safe space to explore emotions and build trust. I help children understand and process their experiences and equip families with strategies to foster a supportive & nurturing environment.
Whether you’re seeking one on one therapy for your child or support for your entire family, I can assist with healing from attachment trauma, school avoidance, or other mental health or behavioral concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or self harm. Congratulations on taking a proactive approach to ensure your child or family functions healthily.
