About me

If you've been stressed and concerned about your child's behaviors and emotional health, then I would like to meet you. If you or your child has felt defeated, frustrated, sad, guilty, and overwhelmed, then I want to empower you to take charge of your life today. For over 10 years I have provided behavioral support and interventions to children, youth and families to help parents manage social/emotional difficulties and increase engagement. I use calming techniques and behavior modification to help understand the inner emotional struggles of children and youth. I am Trained in Conscious Discipline and The 2nd Step Social Emotional Learning Program. I help children and youth communicate at an emotional level while understanding the reasons behind their frustrations and anger.

Manicka is a great therapist. She is compassionate, listens carefully and can get to the core of the issues quickly. She also has a fantastic toolbox of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that have helped me deal with my anxieties.
