Meeting your children where they are at
From the beginning of my career I knew that I had a love for helping children and teenagers. This age group is often misunderstood due to their tendency to act out behaviorally or to withdraw when they are struggling. When they are given unconditional positive regard and respect in the therapy room amazing healing and transformation can occur.
I provide individual, family and play therapy. Through techniques such as non-directive play and expressive arts, I create an environment that gives children/ teenagers the safety they need to open up and process their struggles. I also use relaxation, mindfulness and assertive communication techniques. These techniques have proven to help both age groups learn ways to manage their emotions and behaviors.
I know that parenting is hard and challenging. What ever your child or teenager is struggling with, I can be an additional resource to help them grow emotionally. I am also available as a resource to my client's parents in learning ways to support their children.
