I work with children at all stages of development from infancy through teenage years. Depending on the needs of the family, I work with children individually or in conjunction with their family members. When families express a need for more direct help in a specific context of their daily lives, I am able to meet them in the natural settings of their lives to offer them more immediate and concrete help in these contexts. For example, I meet families during homework time, during morning routine or bedtime routine, or during outings, etc. as needed to address the concerns that bring them to therapy.
As requested by the family, I provide consultation to schools, after school programs, and extracurricular programs to facilitate the child’s ability to make change across various areas of his/her life. Also, as needed, I make school visits and coordinate my work with other adults involved in the child’s life to ensure that the child’s needs are met in all areas of their life.
I am able to arrange visits to the following locations: Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Hancock Park, Culver City, West Los Angeles, Century City, Cheviot Hills, Westwood, Playa Vista, Mar Vista, Marina del Rey, Brentwood, and Santa Monica.
