Is your child or teen struggling to communicate with you? Do they have big outbursts or emotions that seem to make everyday things harder for them and you? Do you feel as though you have tried everything to help them and nothing has worked?

Therapy might be the answer! I use a well-rounded approach to help my clients with their unique needs. I use activities that are fitting for their age in order to help them grow, including play and art based therapy. Play is your child’s natural way of expressing themselves, and I’m here to help you understand that language. Through play, I support your child in exploring their emotions, developing new skills, and creating meaningful changes in their life.

When working with teenagers, I understand that they are figuring out who they are and where they belong in the world, which can be tricky! Therapy allows them to talk about their feelings, learn about themselves, and get help to grow into the best version of who they can be.

I strive to create a safe place where children and teens can feel okay to share how they feel. Throughout this journey, they will begin to feel more understood, supported, and not so alone in their struggles. Over time, they will feel braver and more confident to face new challenges and start to believe they can handle whatever comes their way.

I specialize in supporting children, their parents, and their family. Life is not a straight line and often family gets upended without warning and without explanation. Oftentimes in these moments parents find themselves challenged by their role as parent and feel helpless to support their child through a time or experience that they are struggling to understand themselves. You may find your child experiencing loneliness, anger, outbursts, anxiety, sadness, perfectionism, aggression, and dysregulation, and as a parent you are not feeling equipped to support them. This can leave your child feeling alone and confused and you feeling helpless and guilty.

There are two aspects of therapy that need to be taken care of when working with kids. The first is of course the child. I create a safe and trusting relationship and space for your child. A place that they can come every week and unburden themselves, feel understood, and heal their wounds.

The second branch is my partnership with the parents. You are the ultimate landing place for your child and as such you carry the most power to help effect change for them. Together, we will explore how and what might be helpful for your child. In my partnership with you, I also recognize that your plate is already full and so I also create space for you, as a parent, to relieve some of the pressure and guilt that you are experiencing.
