My Work with Children

For nearly a decade, I’ve worked with children and parents, as both a therapist and a parent coach.
It is important to note my approach to children’s therapy is that I prioritizes inner strength and resilience over behavioral fixes. Children’s behavior is much like a symptom of a deeper internal attempt at navigating difficult situations. Just like the saying it is better to teach a person to fish than to give them a fish. So also children are better served by finding the inner resources they can rely on throughout their developmental lives.

And how do I prioritize inner resources over “behaving”? Through Sand Tray therapy. This type of play therapy allows a child to work within their own language: the language of play! Play is where children try out and practice success. It is how they tell what is bothering them and what needs they cannot meet in themselves or their families. And this play allows them to, “get it right”; to feel the success of growing up through their natural language.

I know with each child has a story and each child comes in with their own unique self. Do not hesitate to call me even just to check in. I am always glad to answer questions and discuss what type of therapy might be best for your child.
