Life transitions can be challenging. Adjusting to new roles in life, new relationships, and new dynamics all create opportunities for growth as well as sources of stress.

Whether you are experiencing perinatal mood or anxiety challenges, dealing with loss, or struggling to adapt to a new way of life, I want to help you navigate this season with grace, grit, and self compassion.

Dealing with complex childhood trauma.
You look strong on the outside, but inside you’re exhausted. Maybe you’ve survived trauma, narcissistic relationships, church hurt, or years of being the one everyone depends on. You may struggle with anxiety, anger in your body, boundary guilt, or feeling stuck in survival mode. I help high-functioning adults heal at the root, integrating trauma, nervous system regulation, and identity restoration; so you can finally feel safe, calm, and fully yourself again, not just “holding it together.”

If your child is struggling with big emotions, anxiety, or behavior challenges, it can feel overwhelming and hard to know how to help.
In sessions, I use play therapy techniques to help children express themselves in ways that feel natural, build confidence, and develop healthier coping skills. I also draw from a narrative approach to help families understand their experiences in new ways and feel less defined by the struggles they are facing.

See More Children Therapists FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
