About

As we navigate challenging times, your child anxious, easy to anger, defiant, or seems depressed and shut down. Your child may be struggling to find friends or feel overwhelmed managing their academic environment. This can harbor feelings of isolation and a negative sense of self. When children can't regulate their emotions they feel bad about themselves. This impacts self esteem and learning. As a parent, your patience is stretched, you can react without pause and at times you feel hopeless when your attempts to comfort do not mitigate or resolve issues. You want your child not just to cope with stressors but to flourish! My approach is strength based and relational. I have decades of expertise working with school aged children. With play therapy techniques I create an engaging environment for children to safely explore their full range of feelings. I tailor interventions by leaning into your child's passions which help them to open up and develop an "emotional toolbox.
