Individual Therapy for Children, Pre-teens and Adolescents

The adolescent years often pose challenges such as anxiety and depression and it is a time of true discovery for many. In my work I assist pre-teens, teenagers and young adults in this discovery process. In addition to building coping skills, processing past experiences can help make meaning in order to make room for creating new memories with freshly accessed self-compassion and clarity. Additionally, I support children with developing language to express themselves and process challenges through play therapy. I support them in building self esteem and self advocacy skills to treat and prevent mental health challenges that arise as they grow into their adult selves. I have a background in child development which informs my practice and assists in meeting the unique needs of each child. I consider Family Systems and Attachment Theory in my development of a treatment plan for your child.
