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. Together, we can reframe struggles as shared experiences that do not define them, encouraging a sense of belonging and resilience. 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.

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
