Child Therapy & Parenting Support
Children often struggle because they may be experiencing new and sometimes overwhelming feelings or experiences and may not have the words to tell you how they're feeling or what they need. Children benefit greatly having a positive adult in their life (who isn’t their parent) to talk with. Play and creativity are the child’s natural means of expression, in sessions I use play and art for your child to express difficult or unspeakable emotions in a safe and healthy way.
My goal is an increase in your child’s happiness, confidence & resiliency.
Seeking support for your child now will not only improve their life currently, but it will prepare them for healthy experiences and relationships throughout their life. Let’s explore if I am a good fit to work with your child, Contact Me to schedule an initial session.
