About
Is your child getting on your first and last nerve? You're doing the best you can with the knowledge you have from your own upbringing, and perhaps are trying to do things differently than how you were parented. You're navigating new territory! You feel like spankings are ‘not it’ anymore, yet what you’ve seen or learned from elsewhere is just not working either. You’re getting calls from the school about your child’s behavior and you just don’t know what to do even though you’re doing your best. It’s becoming overwhelming, annoying, and just right out embarrassing. Nothing seems to work anymore and you're close to giving up. You want to feel in control again, as if you and your child are in sync, and you only want the school to call to shout praises.I want to say you’re not alone and I'm here to help. I specialize in working with children, teens, and their parents to understand the why behind challenging behaviors & to strengthen connection, communication, and managing emotions. My goal is to create a judgment-free space where both you and your child feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. We’ll bring back peace, joy, and love within your home in order to help your child thrive. Feel free to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with me. I would be honored to partner with your family and offer the support you deserve. Specialties: I work with individuals ages 3 and up, including parents to assist with behavioral challenges. Sessions mostly include play or creative and expressive activities, which typically results in better at regulating emotions, expressing their needs, & better understanding of themselves and the world around them. Parents are included in the treatment and are provided with skills to implement at home. Credentials & Experience: I am currently under supervision for the Registered Play Therapist (RBT) credential, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) trained, and trained in Synergetic play therapy.
