is your child suffering from anxiety and depression?
Throughout life we all will have struggles, myself included. I enjoy helping others overcome the things that are holding them back, causing them pain, or creating anxiety for them. I believe that I have a calling to help others in the areas where I have experienced struggles. I especially enjoy working with bariatric surgery patients.

I have helped children, teens, and adults for over 10 years now heal from complex trauma.
I have administered over 5,000 EMDR sessions and specialize in helping people heal from what they feel they cannot speak to anyone about. Healing on a soul level from things. It’s not always easy to have hope. I've sometimes wondered if that's why "Hope" is my middle name. So I can always have it with me. I am very holistic in my approach and can use EMDR to help you heal without you having to talk in great detail about the stressful things you have endured. You are a survivor and I would love to help you feel like yourself again! I am very laid back in my approach and incorporate humor as well as sour candy in my sessions!

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.
