I primarily work with parents seeking support for their young child, adolescent, or teen. Presenting issues range from mild toileting concerns, to stress and anxiety, social skills, coping strategies, building emotional vocabulary, trauma processing, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation and self harm, LGBTQIA+, and support for neurodivergent and neurodiverse children and children with learning differences.
I utilize challenge & nature based therapy and expressive modalities such as sand tray, art, and music as well as somatic experiencing in a Child Centered Play Therapy approach. I support diversified clientele, specialize in working with children with Autism, and I provide a challenge based modality known as Therapeutic Rock Climbing.
For parenting support, children's Play Therapy, therapy for adolescents and teens, or a more active challenge approach through Therapeutic Rock Climbing, please reach out today!
