As a parent, it’s always difficult to see your children struggling and sometimes even more difficult to find support and help. If you’ve noticed that your child ’s mood or behavior is impacting their relationship with you, with their friends, or teachers, play therapy could be a great benefit for you and your child . I combine play therapy with art, movement, sand tray therapy, and EMDR to help children understand their thoughts and feelings, increase emotional connection, learn better coping strategies, and identify and express their needs.

Is your child acting out? Is your teenager exhibiting symptoms of depression or anxiety? Are you a young adult struggling in relationship or with your life path? Are there feelings and behaviors separating you and your spouse? Each one of us has a vision of how our lives are “supposed” to go — the kind of person we’re supposed to be, the kind of relationships we’re supposed to be in, the path we’re supposed to be on. Yet, life often gives us a different story to tell... What if there was a space, a place to take a moment? A safe space where you can be heard with compassion and acceptance, toward making a plan for healing and growth.

My approach to counseling is based on a variety of treatment modalities that I have learned throughout my career and tailor to your unique needs. I do not believe that "one size fits all" in counseling and I strive to build on your individual strengths and help you to maximize your potential for growth and fulfillment. My goal is to provide a safe and warm environment, where you and your family can feel comfortable to explore the past, gain personal insight and make positive changes when necessary.

Child Therapists

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 long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

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.
