As a parent, you want your child to feel confident, calm, and understood but big emotions, anxiety, behavioural changes, or school stress can leave you unsure of how to help. I specialize in supporting children and teens ages 6–18 who are struggling with overwhelming feelings, low self-esteem, anxiety, perfectionism, emotional regulation, or difficult transitions at home or school. My approach is warm, engaging, and developmentally informed, with a focus on helping your child feel safe, seen, and supported.
I have specialized training through the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute, which allows me to work with kids and teens using approaches that fit how young people naturally communicate and process their world. With children, I use: Play therapy, creative expression/art, sensory strategies, and emotional regulation tools. With teens, I use CBT and EFT.
Young people often show emotions through behaviour before they can talk about what’s wrong. My goal is to understand the emotion underneath the behaviour and help your child slowly put words, strategies, and meaning around their experiences. Parents are an essential part of the process and I offer regular parent sessions to explore ways I can support them.
