Whether your child or teen is having traumatic issues, experienced sexual assault, or are struggling with the brave and simple act of being human, I am someone that can help your child or youth to deal with really hard subjects. Along providing care support sessions, that were impacted by their child or youths trauma.
My approach when working with children under 12 years old is to ensure that they are provided with a positive and safe experience of therapy. I prefer to tailor therapy to their developmental stage by creating a fun environment that may involve play, art, and activities during sessions. Discussions about their interests, skills, and special talents and abilities are at the forefront of our therapeutic conversations to help build confidence and feelings of positivity. My background in relational therapy may invite parents or siblings into sessions as well. Please contact me for a free consultation if you are interested in determining if I would be a good fit for your child/children.
When working with children, we appreciate their unique ability to process emotions and situations in a concrete way. We utilize playful activities such as games, drawing, and other forms of play to help children understand and make sense of the complex emotions they experience. This approach enables them to continue developing, communicate more effectively, and refine their emerging life skills.
While I do not work with youth under the age of 12, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.
