I'm here to help your child regain their simple, child-like hope and joy.
NO ONE knows your child better than you do, but fresh eyes, a trained ear, and a therapeutic playmate can help your child to open up about what's really going on in their world. When our children suffer, WE suffer. Usually, our little ones are struggling at no fault of their own. You and your child are probably frustrated because they typically can't put into words exactly what is wrong. Usually, we know something is off because their behavior is off. Anger, lying, explosive outbursts, tearfulness, excessive shyness are symptoms of something rocking your little one's world in a disruptive, unfair way.
