Therapy for Children
Sometimes, children carry big feelings—like worry, anger, or sadness—without knowing exactly why.
It’s confusing and frustrating for them, and often just as worrying for you as a parent.
My Approach to Child Therapy
Every child has a unique emotional world. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where your child can express their feelings and experiences — even when they can’t yet find the words.
I specialize in:
Play Therapy: Helping children process emotions through play, a child’s natural language.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Exploring underlying emotional patterns that may be causing distress.
Attachment-Focused Work: Strengthening emotional security and relationships with caregivers.
Through a gentle, developmentally attuned approach, I help children build emotional regulation, confidence, and healthier ways of coping.
What Your Child Can Expect in Therapy
A special time just for your child — a safe space where they can express themselves through play, drawing, or talking.
Understanding big feelings — I help your child make sense of their emotions and learn to manage them with confidence.
Calming emotional overwhelm — therapy gives your child tools to regulate strong feelings like anxiety, frustration, or sadness.
Parents are part of the journey — I stay in close communication with you to understand your child’s world and guide you in supporting them.
Respecting your child’s privacy — therapy is their space to feel safe, heard, and supported, while you stay involved and informed.
No fixing, just growth — your child isn’t broken. Therapy helps them build self-awareness, resilience, and emotional strength at their own pace.
As a licensed play therapist, I use creative, child-friendly methods—like drawing, stories, and imaginative play—to help kids express what they can’t yet say in words.
Through play, they safely explore feelings, build coping skills, and grow in confidence.

How Does Play Therapy Work?
Creating a Safe Space where children can explore and express their feelings without fear of judgment.
Using Play as a Tool (toys, art materials, and other creative activities) allows children to communicate their thoughts and emotions naturally.
Observing and interpreting the child’s play and interactions, looking for patterns and themes that may reveal their emotional struggles or experiences.
Facilitating Understanding by guiding them through their play, asking questions, and reflecting on what they express.
Building Coping Skills to find healthier ways to cope with their emotions, solve problems, and navigate relationships.
Involving Parents or Caregivers to support the child’s progress and enhance understanding at home.
