Is your child struggling with overwhelming emotions or challenging behaviors? Maybe they’re having difficulty connecting with others, communicating their feelings or having challenges at school. You want them to find calm and stability, to feel safe and supported, and to grow in their ability to manage their emotions. You’re also looking for guidance as a caregiver to better support your child navigate challenges and have a positive relationship.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience, I use play therapy, calming strategies, and trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help children ages 3 - preteen. I work closely with caregivers to ensure that support extends beyond therapy and into your daily life. Together, we’ll help your child find joy and stability.
Your child will gain skills to navigate their emotions, feel more secure, and build healthier relationships. I look forward to developing a strong therapeutic relationship and guiding them toward a path of calm and resilience. If this sounds like the support your child needs, I invite you to book a free consultation.
