Are you often overwhelmed and perplexed by your child’s behavior? Do you feel at times that you and your child lack the necessary tools to communicate and thrive? Being a parent and a child in today’s day is no easy feat. Feeling supported and having the necessary roadmap is key. Everyday as adults we face a variety of challenges that can often seem overwhelming, exhausting, and frustrating. Children and teens are not exempt from these feelings or struggles and can often act out in confusing and overwhelming ways when they are trying to cope and communicate.
Play is the inherent language of children and I provide a safe space for your child to explore, understand, and express themselves. My role as a registered play therapist is to empathetically help your child to understand their own emotions and provide them with the tools to better navigate their world through play and expressive arts.
Additionally, I am a provider of EMDR and Brainspotting. Traumatic experiences rob us of feelings of safety and security. It can often lead us to feel stuck and alters how we see ourselves and the world. Both EMDR and Brainspotting are evidenced based and highly effective practices to address the mind-body connection to treat symptoms of trauma and anxiety.
