Therapy for Children, Pre-Teens, and Teens
I work with children and adolescents navigating a range of emotional and relational challenges, including:
Anxiety, overwhelm, or perfectionism
Grief and loss
Family transitions such as divorce or separation
Difficulty with friendships, peer pressure, or social connection
Self-doubt, identity exploration, and low self-esteem
The impact of trauma or witnessing frightening events
I meet each child and family with warmth and sensitivity, honoring cultural and socio-economic contexts. My approach is collaborative and developmentally appropriate, offering a safe space for young people to process experiences at their own pace.
For younger children, I use play therapy, expressive arts, and sandplay, helping them express emotions, build problem-solving skills, and develop healthier ways of relating, all through creative, age-appropriate methods. Play offers emotional distance from overwhelming experiences, making it easier to explore and heal.
For pre-teens and teens, I integrate talk therapy with creative modalities to support emotional regulation, identity development, and healthy communication. These sessions often include art-making, journaling, and somatic tools to help teens feel empowered, seen, and supported.
Whether your child is facing a specific difficulty or just needing a safe place to grow, therapy can help them feel more confident, connected, and resilient.
