Is your young child struggling? Are you feeling lost with how to help? I am a registered play therapist (RPT) and specialize in working with children ages 3 to 13. Some of the children I work with have been through really difficult and painful traumas, others have experienced great loss. Some kids are struggling to express themselves or with regulating their emotions, and others are struggling with behavior challenges in school or at home. Because of my past work as a school social worker I have unique experience engaging with children with ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, and other social-emotional concerns.
A big part of my approach is connecting with each child I meet. Once we have a trusting relationship built that is where the real fun begins! I love the challenge of getting kids invested in their own progress and believe each child should take ownership of their own goals. In sessions I will identify the approach that will likely work best for your child.
It is really important to me that counseling a fun and enjoyable experience for kids and families. I want every child who walks through my door look forward to coming back. I also have a passion for helping overwhelmed, stressed, and lost parents find ways of reconnecting with their child. I would be honored to walk alongside you and your child!
