For the last 29 years, I have worked in social services, school, hospital and residential settings, where I have gained a large breadth of experience in the struggles of
children
, adolescents, teens, young adults and families. I have seen what approaches are the most effective toward building trust and rapport quickly so that we can get to work. Most folks already have a sense of why they are uncomfortable and just want mastery over thoughts, feelings and actions. I help with identifying the core issues underlying self-defeating thoughts and behavior and teach new strategies to manage uncomfortable thoughts and memories.

Expect to walk into a fun and safe space for you or your
child
to be freely expressive, feeling supported and free from judgement.
One of the simplest and yet most profound questions I've ever been asked is, "What's your WHY?" In a bat of an eye, I knew my WHY. I truly believe EVERYONE holds the ability to make change. I believe people are over comers and hold the power to break cycles, fight a battle so their
children
won't have to, discover their purpose, find freedom in forgiveness. I have seen how hard and cruel this world can be, but I have also been privileged to bear witness to radical change. No one is beyond change. No one is beyond healing. Everyone can discover their MEANING, PURPOSE, and JOY.

Life often feels like a roller coaster. Our story is full of ups, downs and surprising turns. Maybe we lose our job or spouse, or face a major life transition. A
child
may move to a new school, have parents separate. Sometimes we experience a traumatic event. These things impact us, they shape our story. But we get to set the pace and the direction of where our story will go. Reaching out for therapy is a powerful step in writing the rest of your story, and you are about to take the next brave step in your story by seeking help.

Child Therapists
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
