I'm on maternity leave until January 2025. Please reach out for openings at that time. For children, behavior is a way to communicate needs. When complex emotions arise through challenging behaviors, parents may be left feeling unsure how to respond. Does your child seem overly anxious? Are they highly distressed when separated from you? Maybe they've experienced a significant loss or you’d like to prepare them for a family life change. Are you an adoptive or foster family wanting help with bonding and building secure attachment? Do you hope to gain clearer insight into your child’s needs and support them through a stressful time?

At Growing Roots Child Therapy I offer parent consultations and see children 0-8 years old. I’m passionate about helping young children thrive amidst stressful situations and building secure attachment with their grown-ups in the early years of life. I use child-friendly, play-based therapy to assess and treat various early childhood issues.
I provide a welcoming, therapeutic space to explore and process inner conflicts as they emerge through a child’s most innate language of play. I enjoy helping parents better understand their child's experience so they can more effectively navigate challenges together. Whether you’re seeking proactive support or find yourself in the muck, I’m here to help.
