Young children do not have the verbal skills to explain what is bothering them and may become angry or depressed. I communicate with children at the appropriate age level using books, games, and drawing. As we play together, your child will feel safe and find a way to express feelings not easily expressed because of lack of words. I will help your child develop new coping and verbal skills that will allow expression of feelings. I will, or course, communicate with you as the parent and make suggestions to help you interact better with your child

I use non-directive, directive and sand play therapy when working with children. Given that younger children's brains are in a process of development and many of the more complex cognitive skills don't develop until later, play is the most effect method of learning to solve problems and process emotions or issues. As a school counselor I worked with families, teachers and children. I have trained as a synergistic play therapist, a person centered play therapist and in sand play.

In working with young children, I create a gentle, supportive space where they can explore their feelings and experiences with the presence of a trusted caregiver. By including a caregiver in our sessions, we help the child understand that they are not solely responsible for any challenges they might be facing.

This approach helps both child and caregiver connect around strengths, building a foundation of support and understanding that allows the child to feel seen, valued, and empowered.
