Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist and Professional Coach

While I have some training in play therapy, I prefer to work with children at least 10 years of age. A lot of issues that children face have to do with the family environment, which is why it's important to consider a family therapist to look at the entire family system. As a family therapist, I can help by examining the dynamics and interactions within the entire family system, identifying and addressing underlying issues, promoting healthy communication patterns, and fostering a supportive environment that contributes to the child's overall well-being and development.

When a young child is struggling, the whole family is affected. Treating young children requires a unique approach as they are often unable to express their feelings in words. Play therapy provides these young clients with an opportunity for self-expression that is natural and comfortable for them. I am then able to use information gathered from these play sessions to provide feedback to the child’s parents and help the family unit to thrive.

Young children often can get a bad rap when it comes to counseling. Often times people fail to realize how smart and observant children are as well as underestimate a child's ability to discover their worth and potential. My approach in children's counseling revolves primarily around working with the child and learning about who they are and what they want from life. However since children do not exist in a vacuum, caregiver sessions are also an important part of my therapeutic approach so care givers can discover new strategies to better support their child.
