Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed because your child is struggling with big emotions, anxiety, behavior challenges, school difficulties, ADHD, or changes at home? Maybe you’ve tried talking, consequences, rewards, or reassurance, but you’re still unsure how to help. Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re experiencing, and sometimes their feelings come out through their behavior. I specialize in working with children and supporting their parents and caregivers.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which gives children a developmentally appropriate way to express emotions, process experiences, build confidence, and develop greater emotional regulation. Depending on your child’s needs, I may also incorporate sandtray, EMDR, attachment-focused approaches, and other expressive interventions.

What you can expect from me

I believe parents are an important part of the therapeutic process. I provide consultation and support to help you understand your child, strengthen connection, and support progress beyond the playroom. Reach out for a free consultation with me or another Life Chapters Counseling clinician to help determine the best fit for your needs.
