When your child’s meltdowns seem to come out of nowhere—quickly escalating into yelling, hitting, or shutting down—it can feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells. Even small moments turn big, and despite your best efforts, nothing seems to help. It’s exhausting and discouraging. These behaviors aren’t just “acting out”—they’re signs your child is overwhelmed and doesn’t yet have the tools to cope. I specialize in helping children ages 4–10 who struggle with emotional dysregulation, anger, and aggression find safer, healthier ways to manage big emotions.
Using Sandtray Play Therapy, I help children express what they can’t yet put into words. This approach builds emotional awareness, self-regulation, and confidence. As skills grow, parents often see fewer meltdowns, better self-calming, and more cooperative behavior at home and school.
Ready to see meaningful change? Visit my website to learn more about my approach or reach out by email to get started. I’m happy to answer questions and help you take the next step toward a calmer, more connected home environment.
