How therapy helps your child—and you

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Maybe anxiety or big feelings have taken over your child’s world. You want to help, but nothing you try seems to stick. And you’re left wondering: What does my child actually need?

Using art- and play-based, nervous-system-informed therapy, I help children express what they don’t yet have words for. Play allows kids to process anxiety safely and naturally in a way that is developmentally appropriate and leads to deep, long-lasting change.

Parents are an important part of the process. I help you understand:

  • What your child’s behavior is communicating

  • Why traditional strategies may not be working

  • How to support regulation and confidence at home, without power struggles

  • How to improve communication and get back to connection with your kid

I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where your child can drop the mask and feel safe showing up authentically. We’ll work together so you can better understand how to support your child, and your family can get back to feeling calmer, connected, and grounded.

In my practice, I specialize in supporting children, pre-teen and teen girls, & families navigating:

  • ADHD, autism, and twice-exceptional (2e) profiles

  • Anxiety, panic, and phobias

  • Depression and low self-esteem

  • Gender expansive and trans identities

  • Perfectionism and negative self-talk

  • Suicidal thoughts and self-harm

  • Trauma, grief, and loss

Let’s take the next step together. I offer a free 15-minute consultation call where we can talk about your child’s needs, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit.
