Having behavioral issues with your child? I am here to help. When parenting or co-parenting challenges surface, together we can facilitate productive and open communication within your family. Children are often unable to effectively understand & process confusion, fear, & anger. As life brings challenges, transitions, trauma, & even abuse, they can struggle to cope & negative social behavior occurs. Together, we find positive ways to communicate & release intense feelings. This enhances a child's confidence & frees up emotional energy to build healthy relationships with caregivers & peers.
Play therapy allows a therapist & child to make sense to one another when words are inadequate. A multi-faceted approach naturally builds an intuitive & attentive relationship. Parent/caregiver or co-parenting issues are addressed, without the child present, at the opening of a session. Over time, with parents' involvement, stronger family dynamics form.
Clients have shared that my approach/demeanor is warm, respectful, & nurturing. Many life experiences as a daughter, sister, mother, & grandmother have shaped me. I'm grateful to enjoy such fulfilling work, guided by a heart for children & the resilience that faith can bring. Each child is precious, each family unique. Together, we make a better future.
