Child and Family Therapy

Welcome to my community-based child psychotherapy practice!

Each and every child is filled with unlimited potential, strength, and worth. My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to helping children 4-12 years of age who are experiencing difficult life situations. I use therapeutic play and evidence-based models to meet the needs of each child based on age, interests, and treatment needs. I have had the privilege of working with many children and families as they work towards better coping, enhancing relationships, and fostering deeper connections.

Services Offered

I help children coping with issues such as anxiety, ADHD, divorce, poor self-esteem, loss, trauma, anger, and social difficulties. I also offer parent consultations including the SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) Program for children with anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Therapy can help children openly express their feelings and learn ways to better cope. Since children typically have difficulty talking about their issues, I use engaging activities such as therapeutic games and art to make it easier for them to express themselves. Services are offered in-person and through Teleplay/Teletherapy.
