Therapy can be extremely helpful for young children. Children communicate very differently from adults, but they are so expressive in their own way. We are experts at understanding child communication and gaining an understanding of the emotional lives they don't yet have words for. We utilize play therapy to gain that understanding AND to treat whatever they are struggling with. Parents are obviously critical participants in the child's therapy, for their understanding is a huge part of what facilitate's the child's growth.

I work with children 11 years and older. I think at this age fears and family systems are explored. It will take the family to be open and the child to be willing to explore emotions and feel safe. With play and art I find that kids can feel safe and not feel judged by emotional responses. I work with schools if I have to on behavioral plans. It is a collection of advice and behavioral standards for proper care.
