Do you have a child struggling at home, school or in both places? School and life can sometimes get complicated and messy for children and adolescents. When your child struggles, it is not uncommon to feel stuck, frustrated and helpless. Parenting can be hard at times! By working together to get to the bottom of the challenges, children can feel better about themselves and achieve greater success in school. Family units can make changes that lead to greater joy in their relationships with each other and with friends.
As a Registered Play Therapist, former elementary teacher & school counselor of 27 years, I have the unique experience of walking alongside and supporting children & families during many challenging seasons. We can sit with the hard things, laugh, cry, celebrate the positive steps in your journey as well as have some fun through play along the way!
Seeking support takes courage and I am so happy you are considering the next step for your child and family. It is my honor to provide a nonjudgemental therapeutic space full of acceptance, empathy, respect and playfulness in supporting your child and family system. I look forward to supporting your child and family unit's steps toward wellness.
