It's hard to see your autistic child suddenly melt down, act out, or struggle to make friends. Kids can develop ways of coping that seem confusing or destructive when they're neurodiverse, because self-regulation and communication are hard in a neurotypical world. I see it as my job to help your child use the language of play to express emotions, solve problems, & learn to navigate a neurotypical world without suppressing their autistic self.
Parent work is an important part of child therapy. You know your child best & are an essential partner in therapy. I aim to help you make sense of confusing behaviors, learn new ways of communicating with your child, & develop ways of intervening when they need help. Whatever shows up, we'll approach it together & find the best solution for you & your child
It's hard to see your child struggle, especially when others don’t seem to see their strengths. Play therapy can help children much the way talk therapy helps grown-ups: they get to understand their feelings & needs better, and learn new ways to respond to challenges. When you reach out, we can talk about what's not working & how I can help you both.

Being autistic in an allistic world can be overwhelming & even traumatic - for kids & adults. Things are overstimulating, don't make sense, & people don't understand you & how you process. We'll explore your neurodiversity, help you find ways of being that embrace your differences, find ways to function in but not conform to a neurotypical world, & process the trauma you've experienced.

If Kylie weren't so kind, thoughtful, and approachable, she'd be terrifically intimidating. I am consistently impressed by her depth of knowledge and how she thinks about her patients. I can't overstate how highly I value her perspective.

Kylie is a highly skilled and insightful clinician. She has an incredible capacity to work with severe trauma that most clinicians would shy away from. I strongly recommend her for therapy with children and adults.

In psychoanalytic play therapy, your child leads the play, so their unconscious can lead us to their pain & stuck behaviors. As these show up in session, we work on processing their emotions & finding solutions through play. We learn about their feelings & needs, & I help them share these things with you. Then you & I team up to make them feel understood & to support new solutions to old patterns.
