Child Therapy (ages 5+)

Growing emotional skills with art & play.

Children don't always have the words for what they’re feeling—so they speak through their behavior, their big emotions, and their play. This is a space designed specifically for them to be seen, understood, and supported in a way that actually makes sense to a child’s world.

What to Expect

In our sessions, "work" often looks like play. Play is a child’s first language, and it’s how they process their experiences, practice new skills, and find their footing.

  • A Safe Haven We create an environment where your child feels fully accepted. Whether we are using art, sand, or storytelling, the goal is to help them feel secure enough to express what’s weighing on them.

  • A Collaborative Bridge You are the expert on your child. I work closely with parents to build a bridge between the therapy room and your home, ensuring you have the tools to support your child's growth and regulation every day.

  • Nervous System Support We focus on helping children understand their "big feelings" from the inside out. By learning how their bodies respond to stress, they gain the ability to move from meltdowns to a sense of calm and connection.

  • The Power of Resilience We aren't just looking to "stop" a behavior; we are looking to build the underlying emotional strength and self-worth that allows a child to thrive long after therapy ends.

Who Child Therapy is For

Child therapy is a support system for the whole family. It might be the right step if you notice your child:

  • Is struggling with "big" reactions that feel hard for them (and you) to navigate or soothe.

  • Seems more withdrawn or anxious than usual, or is having trouble navigating changes like a move, a new school, or a loss.

  • Is having a hard time at school or with friends, struggling to find their place or manage social rhythms.

  • Is showing their stress through their body—trouble sleeping, frequent stomachaches, or a general sense of being "on edge."

  • Just needs a dedicated space to process their world with a neutral, supportive adult.
