Therapy for Your Child 

Are you a parent or caregiver of a child who's acting differently than you're used to?

Do you worry that your child is having a hard time making sense of the changes and transitions that are taking place in your home or at school?

Is your child coming home from school and sharing something that's making you feel concerned? 

Does your child express her anger, sadness, fear or nervousness in ways that are difficult for you to understand?   

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you are tuning into meaningful parts of your child's emotional experience. You are awake to the challenges and changes that make up family life. All of these questions and concerns are very normal and every parent sometimes finds themselves overcome with worry for their child. Seeking support for your child's emotional wellbeing is a process and it can feel hard to take the first step, but I'm here to sit down with you and move through your worries, questions and concerns in order to provide high quality therapeutic services that includes both support for you and your child.  

Why Therapy? 

Therapy for your child can help ease anxiety and worry for both of you. I support children in moving through their big feelings, as I take their lead in the therapy session and create a safe and supportive space that provides channels for expression and ways for a child to make sense of their world. Children can gain a strong sense of agency over their feelings and experiences within the therapeutic relationship that will help alleviate the challenges they are having at home or at school, such as a difficult time interacting with friends and peers at school, high levels of worry, aggression or sadness. A therapeutic relationship and environment is proven to help decrease stress levels and support cognitive development for any child, preventing risk for mental illness as they grow up. 

Individual Child Therapy

My specialty is working with children. I incorporate a range of modalities including creative arts therapies, play therapy, cognitive behavioral (CBT) and mindfulness/ grounding techniques. Individual therapy sessions are 45 minutes in length and may include a check-in or collateral session with the parent/caregiver. Collateral sessions with parents/caregivers are opportunities to provide a deep level of support for the main caregivers in the child's life, for the nurturer to receive nurture. During collateral sessions, parents can share about the challenges and joys in being with their children, receive support and explore techniques and treatment modalities they may utilize at home.
