Help Is Available When Your Child and You Need It Most
I have numerous years' experience helping children cope with, and overcome, a variety of childhood issues such as: depression, attention deficit and disruptive behavior disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, autistic spectrum disorders, Asperger's syndrome, post-traumatic stress, reactive attachment disorder, and learning disorders.
By providing children a safe and secure space, and using a variety of therapeutic modalities – such as crisis counseling, play therapy, sand tray therapy, and art therapy – I help children learn to acknowledge and express their feelings in healthy ways and move forward in life with optimism and self-confidence.
I also assist parents by providing parents:
- Parenting skills and techniques
- Parenting classes
- Positive behavior management for kids
- Behavioral modification training for children in school and at home
- Program-wide consultations with school administrators, teachers, special educators, etc.
I have conducted the following group trainings and workshops for children and parents:
- Social Skills Training
- Anger Management
- Problem Resolution
- Divorce Workshop
Current Children Support and Therapy Groups Offered:
Social Skills Groups for Children
Support Group for Children of Divorce
Social Skills Groups for Children
Social skills determine how children interact and express their feelings with others. As such, children with social skills and self-expression issues often benefit from coaching and guidance in a social setting. This not only allows children to learn the necessary skills, but put them into practice in real-world situations. With direct guidance and practice in a small group, children can learn to express themselves appropriately and improve their behavior in any social setting.
- Does your child complain of not having any friends?
- Does your child appear to be shy or fearful with other children?
- Is your child comfortable making new friends?
- Does it seem your child has poor listening skills?
- Does your child have difficulty recognizing non-verbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and personal space?
- Do you ever hear your child complain, "Nobody likes me!"?
- Does your child exhibit difficulty solving problems?
- Does your child express anger in inappropriate ways?
- Does your child have a difficult time resolving conflict with others?
If your answer to one or more of the above is "Yes" …
YOUR CHILD CAN BENEFIT FROM A SOCIAL SKILLS GROUP!
Social skills groups help children learn new, positive, and appropriate behaviors in a social setting, and then practice what they've learned in real-life situations. After an initial consultation and evaluation, your child can be placed in a small group with two, three, or four other children. Groups meet for 12 weekly one-hour sessions.
Children's social skills groups meet in San Jose.

Support Group for Children of Divorce
This support group is designed specifically to help children explore every-day life issues and concerns regarding the divorce of their parents. The group offers children support and assistance in meeting the challenges of divorce. It is a place for children who are being affected by divorce to decrease isolation, reduce anxiety, promote healthy self-assertion, and deal with changing feelings, depression, self-esteem, and other issues.
In a safe environment, children who attend this support group will learn:
- How to survive and thrive through their parents' divorce process
- To understand divorce better – that it is a "grown-up" problem and not their doing
- How to cope with their feelings about divorce
- How to express feelings of sadness
- How to resolve anger issues
- How to overcome fears and feelings of helplessness
- How to not feel guilty or responsible for their parents' problems
- Not to blame themselves for the divorce
This group meets in San Jose once per week.
As a prerequisite, parents will be interviewed prior to their children joining the group.
