I am a Registered Play Therapist working with children who are hard to reach either because they are angry, anxious, or depressed. Children don't express themselves the same way that adults do, rather, they express themselves more naturally through play. Play is a child's natural way of relieving stress and play therapy is the best practice for working with children. Using Play Therapy most children are able to work through issues in a much shorter amount of time. For more information Call today (910) 407-0052 and check us out at www.AtlasChildCounseling.com

Everyone experiences tough times at some point in their life and as a result may not function effectively and exhibit some type of negative behaviors, such as addiction, depression, anxiety, school or employment issues, self-sabotage, withdrawal and avoidance. With gentle guidance in a safe environment, you can find an emotional and mental balance and improve your daily functioning with continued progress and stability. We will work on identifying and changing dysfunctional behaviors and develop effective coping strategies to find harmony and peace in your life.

I specialize in providing therapy to individuals (birth to 18) and families.

Sometimes you need more than someone who is outside the situation who can hear what is going on and be a neutral voice. Sometimes you need more than someone who can tell you when it’s time to seek medication or give physiological education. Sometimes you need a spiritual leader, a guide, a prayer warrior, and someone to remind you when to slow down and give it to God and walk with you in the process of giving it over, showing you how, and reminding you, even teaching you how not to pick it back up. If that’s what you are looking for then you’ve come to the right place.

It can be difficult being a child or adolescent these days. The COVID-19 pandemic has not made it any easier. With a lack of social connections, children are suffering even more from depression.

*NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME* We all want to be fully known and loved. My clients seek support in understanding themselves and how to work through past trauma that has affected their regular day to day relationships; whether that is with family members, an intimate partner, friends, or even with themselves. I support my clients in reaching their goals by positively supporting them while also challenging them to dissect their inner selves for an honest look at who they are and how they can accept and truly love themselves. My clients are willing to do the hard work in a safe, comfortable, and confidential space.

When clients are provided empathetic listening, and effective interpersonal skills to deal with anger, stress and communicate more effectively, success is a given and a healthier person arises. Allow me to take this powerful journey with you!

I'm wondering who could have ever prepared parents to know how to parent during a global pandemic. Parents are doing the best that they can, and they may also be searching for new ways to deal with their kids' behavior to make it all less exhausting. I work with parents and/or the primary caretakers to reduce family conflict that often arises from the daily struggles of raising children and teens. I'm a child psychologist, but I work directly with adults to reclaim control over their own schedule and child's behavior.

So often our lives are crowded, overfull and overwhelming, and in turn block us from being able to find fulfillment.

I meet with all sorts of people, from various and beautiful backgrounds; this includes adults, couples, families, teens, elderly and older adolescents.
