Child and Adolescent Therapy

Does your child or adolescent struggle to express or manage their emotions? Are you concerned about your child's self-esteem or social skills? Has your child or teen experienced grief, loss, or trauma? Are you concerned your child or teen is depressed or anxious? We can work together to support your child or adolescent as they overcome challenging periods and successfully handle life's obstacles, regardless of whether they are experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, peer pressure/bullying, academic difficulties, behavioral concerns, or have experienced trauma.

I know how important it is to work with a therapist who knows how to connect with your child in order to communicate with them effectively and who utilizes evidenced based interventions, tailored to your child’s needs. Traditional “talk therapy” generally doesn’t work well with children, because kiddos process their experiences differently than adults. I use play, art, music, and movement to help children express their feelings.
