Therapy for Children
Sometimes, big feelings or worries can weigh you down, and you don’t even know why they’re there. It can feel frustrating, confusing, or even a little scary. Maybe you’ve tried talking to parents, siblings, or friends, but the feelings don’t seem to go away.
When we work together, we’ll have a special time just for you:
A place where you can show your feelings by playing, drawing, or talking.
I help you understand your feelings better.
I help you calm big feelings so they don’t take over.
Your parents will also be part of the process—I talk to them to understand what’s happening, and I help them learn how to support you in the best way possible.
But what you share with me stays private—this is your space, and I respect that.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you—you’re not broken. It’s about helping you understand yourself, so those big emotions don’t feel so heavy anymore.
Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore, express, and grow at your own pace.
How Play Therapy Helps You
Play therapy is a research-backed way to help children deal with tough emotions and challenges
It allows children to develop healthier ways to cope, all while doing something they enjoy
It's a way of communicating when words can’t be found
I can help your child make sense of these expressions, guiding them toward understanding their emotions and finding relief.
How Does Play Therapy Work?
