When children and teens become flooded with emotion, it’s difficult for them to identify, let alone voice, uncomfortable feelings. Their (sometimes challenging) behavior often indicates what they need. I provide developmentally appropriate ways for children to comfortably enact/express what’s going on beneath the surface during heightened emotional states. In my work with your child, we’ll take a deep dive into the attachment styles, nervous system states, and maladaptive coping skills behind the behaviors that impede their ability to thrive at home, school, or in social settings. Moreover, we'll have fun doing this meaningful work.
