Have you ever felt like you weren't being heard? Have you struggled to advocate for yourself? Have you felt like you were different from others? If you answered, yes, to any of these questions, know that you are not alone. Whether you are seeking treatment as an adult or for a child or adolescent, being able to learn skills to advocate for yourself and develop confidence in that ability can be enlightening. I can help in making speaking up less stressful by helping you understand the roots of that difficulty and help you find your voice. For minors, I can work with other providers in helping your child feel heard and understood.
Using a humanistic approach to being social, self-determined, creative, and goal-directed, I focus on social navigation, advocacy, communication, self-esteem, comfort with self and in relationships, and managing anxiety and depressive symptoms. I am in a Registered Play Therapy (RPT) credential program and a Certified AutPlay Therapy Provider.
Therapy can be play-based and fun! There can be fidgets and kinetic activities that can be done conjointly with conversation. Therapy can also be about talking and understanding the self better and developing awareness and insight so we can navigate relationships. If this sounds good to you, you can call me to do a free consultation.
