Are you consumed with worry about your child and family? Is your child acting out, anxious or depressed? I can provide a safe therapeutic space for your child to express themselves while learning how to manage their anger, anxiety, depression or other issues. I have 25+ years helping children throughout my career as an elementary teacher and high school counselor. Being a registered play therapist makes me uniquely qualified to help younger children ages 5-11 and adolescents ages 12-18.
My background in education has also provided me with extensive knowledge of the 504 process. Section 504 protects qualified individuals with disabilities in the school setting. I can help you advocate for your child at the school level as well as assist with explaining and understanding the process.
If you are a struggling parent, or have a child or adolescent going through a difficult time, know that you are not alone. Call or email me today so we can work together on helping your child live their Best Life.
