Sharon loves to help young children. She enjoys them and she believes it's very important to address your child's issues as soon as possible. She is happy to offer a variety of services, (counseling, play therapy, EMDR, EEG biofeedback, Quantum biofeedback, and more) as she finds that children aren't always able to reach counseling goals with talk therapy alone. It can be difficult for therm to identify and verbalize what is troubling them. This is why children often "act out" their emotions. Sharon believes she is successful with more children since she started simultaneously combining therapies and started utilizing EMDR and biofeedback. EMDR and biofeedback can be powerful for kids!

With play therapy, Amy aids in supporting the child to learn more adaptive ways when there are cultural and emotional deficits. Amy believes the actual relationship created through child therapy can render a corrective emotional occurrence needed for healing.
