Play is the child's symbolic language & natural medium of expression.
Do you need to be heard in a non-judgmental manner? Have you been hurt or disrespected? Are you struggling in a relationship or moving through grief or loss? Are you anxious, depressed, or uncertain? Do you care for a child who has experienced "big hurts," overwhelming emotions, or been challenged to cope? We are all doing the best we can. It takes courage to seek help. I hope to explore your story, concerns, and life goals. I see adults and children ages 3-12 and their caregivers. In addition I have lived experience with autoimmune conditions and can offer an empathetic perspective to those who experience such challenges.

Child psychologists in Oregon provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results.

The best child therapists in Oregon build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
