Dealing with unexpected challenges and difficult behaviors can leave parents feeling frustrated, upset, and isolated, and it can feel overwhelming to reach out for support. Whether you are dealing with a family transition, processing a loss or trauma, navigating mood or behavioral challenges, or facing other challenges, support is available. Through integrative play-based interventions, I help children and families find new ways to communicate and manage life stressors to get the family life they desire. I work to create an open, supportive environment where children and families are able to express themselves freely and learn new ways to cope and interact. As a former teacher, I have over 10 years experience supporting children and families with complex needs in a variety of settings. I am trained in multiple modalities (ARC, DBT, CBT, and TF-CBT) and use an integrative, play based approach in my work with children. I believe strongly in the therapeutic powers of play and believe that play is the most effective way to support children in expressing themselves and processing their emotions and experiences. I have experience supporting children and families experiencing the following challenges: - Trauma - Grief/Loss -Behavioral Challenges -ADHD -Depression -Anxiety -Managing life transitions (recent move, change in family structure) If you are unsure if I am able to support your specific needs, reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation. I am happy to see if it would be a good fit, and if not, I will provide a referral to a provider who can meet your needs.
