Stress can come into our lives at the most unexpected and inconvenient times. We may try to deny the effects of stress in our lives until it becomes overbearing. When this happens, we tend to have developed behaviors that become more damaging than they are helpful – these are maladaptive behaviors. It can be hard to pick up the pieces and begin rebuilding our lives. Our thoughts and actions can get in our way. We can get stuck with our unhelpful actions and need help learning how to replace these behaviors.

I help children, adolescents, and teens who are having difficulty managing emotions, struggling with behavior, and/or going through changes in the home. I believe that children can not only communicate issues through play but also learn new skills the best when play therapy techniques are intertwined within their therapy experience. Many adolescents and teens benefit from a neutral sounding board that can provide support and new perspectives.

My time as a therapist has predominantly focused on children/teens with clinical issues ranging from severe depression, anger, mood disorders, and those struggling with transitions whether from behavioral issues at school or issues stemming from from changes in their family. It is my belief that therapy should be a collaborative effort between the therapist, family, and child focusing on establishing their own goals for treatment with clinical guidance. I have found that offering a supportive and understanding environment can help both clients and their family a way of addressing their needs even if they feel insurmountable.

Relational stresses, depression, grief - specifically the challenges of parenting including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders as well as parenting a child with a long term chronic illness or disability.
Even strong, smart, successful people know when to utilize the help of experts. Maybe you’re not in crisis, just a couple in a “good enough” relationship, but some of the time things get painfully off track. Or an individual whose life seems to be going pretty well on the outside – but privately, you’re hurting. Sometimes, your ways of “getting by” turn into habits that need to be amended. It’s not always clear how to go about initiating change and it helps to have an objective perspective. Counseling is a great way to improve your life. Together we will explore, identify, and rebuild habits and patterns to provide lasting change.

Child: “I fell and hurt my knee!” Parent: “Don’t cry. It’s OK. Don’t be sad. You’re fine. Just be more careful.” The Whole Brain Child, Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson. This is a common exchange between children and caretakers. Children are often seen as resilient and expected to suppress their emotions and “be strong.” However, children are small adults. They experience similar emotions as adults, yet developmentally are not equipped to process them in the same way. A child’s primary language is play. A child’s emotions are real and important, no matter how frustrating they may seem to us.
