About
Does your family walk on eggshells to prevent your child's meltdowns? Maybe you over-plan and make accommodations, but still hope for the best on family outings. You know your child is struggling but you're not sure how to help. As a registered play therapist, I use play techniques, expressive arts, and mind-body activities to help your child learn healthy coping skills. Using play and toys as the child's language, kids can process their feelings and move forward. I also work with adults dealing with overwhelm from parenting stress, anxiety, and depression and can help you learn strategies to reclaim your life. As a parent myself, I know what you are going through. Managing changes with school and anxiety about health can be overwhelming. Reaching out for help is the first step. I will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. Your child will finish therapy with a "tool box" of coping skills that will help you to navigate life's ups and downs. In therapy, it is so important to find a good fit with your therapist. I believe in using play and a sense of humor to help connect with kids and adults. Contact me today for a free phone consultation or visit my website to book your first session. I look forward to working with you and your family. Offering telehealth services via a secure platform.
