I also have vast experience and love working with children and supporting families whose child or teen is struggling at school or/and home due to trauma, emotional regulation, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, autism, or LGBTQ+ identity concerns.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can slow down and connect to the emotional roots of your struggles. We focus on building self-awareness and creating effective coping strategies to respond to discomfort rather than just react to it. For children, I incorporate art & play therapy to foster a safe and creative space where they can feel supported.
