Child & Play Therapy (Ages 13-12)
Children do not come to therapy and sit in a chair and talk about their feelings. That is not how children work. They show us what they are carrying through how they play, how they react, how they sleep, and how they relate to the people around them.
I work with young children through play therapy — a research-backed approach that uses creative play, storytelling, and expressive activities to help children process difficult experiences and develop emotional skills in a way that feels natural to them.
What brings parents to therapy
Anxiety, fears, and excessive worry
Tantrums, emotional outbursts, and difficulty regulating feelings
Transitions — a new school, a new sibling, a move, divorce, or bereavement
Social difficulties and challenges making or keeping friends
Withdrawal, sadness, or a noticeable change in behavior
Adjustment difficulties following a stressful family event
Parents are closely involved throughout. The changes that last are the ones that happen at home, so I work with you as much as with your child.
