Kids & Their Caregivers
Your kid's emotional well-being starts with connection. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, behavioral challenges, life transitions, or just feeling stuck in difficult patterns, I'm here to support both you and your child. My approach recognizes a fundamental truth: children are only as regulated as their caregivers can be.
How We Work Together
Every session is tailored to your family's unique needs. For young people, this might look like:
Engaging through play, art, and movement
Using sand tray work to express complex emotions
Building emotional vocabulary and coping skills
Learning self-regulation techniques that actually work
Creating a safe space to process big feelings
For caregivers, our work includes:
Learning to identify your own triggers and regulation patterns
Developing practical co-regulation strategies
Building confidence in responding to challenging behaviors
Understanding the brain science behind emotional development
Finding ways to strengthen attachment and connection
Why My Approach Is Different
Traditional child therapy often focuses solely on the child. My approach recognizes that lasting change happens when caregivers are equipped with the right tools and support. You'll never be just an observer in this process - you're an essential part of the healing journey.
Who is this for?
The child is the client, so they determine the pace and nature of our work together. The caregiver is the client’s primary source of support, nourishment, hope, and growth.
I listen. We act. The family transforms.
This approach can help kids who:
Struggle with big emotions or behavioral challenges
Experience anxiety or mood changes
Have difficulty with transitions or change
Need support processing life events
Face social or school-related challenges
And caregivers who:
Feel overwhelmed by their child's emotions
Want to break negative family patterns
Need practical strategies for challenging moments
Seek to strengthen their parent-child connection
Are ready to grow alongside their young person
