Child Therapists in Mesa, AZ
When working with children, parents are encouraged to participate in the process.
I provide therapy for children, families and individuals. My approach is playful, creative and fun. I practice from a Social Work perspective, taking into account all of the relationships, stressors, strengths and support a person has surrounding them. My approach is a collaborative effort with parents, who bring the most important perspective and knowledge regarding their children. Working together will only make us more successful in creating real change. I utilize many therapeutic techniques, including Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts, Play, Sensory, Behavior Modification and more.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, but I welcome anyone who feels we might be a good fit.
Life is rough, but it is also wonderful. I believe in therapy as a means to help you increase your confidence in accessing the tools you need to get through life's trials. Utilizing an attachment lens, we'll work together to address current, past, and generational traumas as we uncover the roots of problematic symptoms and provide lasting relief. My favorite quote is from George Bernard Shaw- "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." I believe the therapeutic process is a means to empower you to create the life of your dreams.

Children and families are often in need of healing. This belief led me to earn my Master’s degree in Marriage, Family and Child therapy. What I have been most inspired by after 16 years of working in this field has been the capacity for inner resilience that people have shown in the face of emotional pain, adversity, and trauma. Although other traditional modalities may be incorporated (ex, CBT), I predominately use a creative, play-based approach. This includes therapy interventions such as art, games, and sand tray interventions. Together, we’ll journey toward living brighter, happier lives.

Allow us to use our training, experience, and love of helping others to work with you and/or your child.
We all have our own story that needs to be told and we need to "feel" heard without judgment. Children just as adults, want to tell their story and feel & know someone is really listening. At BHCS we pride ourselves on meeting the client where they are while providing a safe and comfortable place to begin healing. We all have our rough patches in life and as Murphy's Law would have it, "life" did not come with an instruction book on how to navigate through the rough storms. Children, the same, just less experience and less knowledge; children do not act out for no reason; they just do not know how to express themselves yet.

I specialize in trauma therapy for both children and adults. With a deep understanding of how trauma can impact individuals differently, I work with clients who have experienced both "big T" traumas, such as abuse, severe accidents, or significant loss, and "little t" traumas, which include everyday stressors or smaller, yet impactful, life events. I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and experiences. I am dedicated to helping individuals to heal and live their best life.

It is my passion to teach parents how to show up for themselves and their children to create relationships they truly desire, while giving children the foundation they deserve.
You matter. You are not here by chance but by divine appointment. You are ready. The thought of starting therapy can be daunting, especially if this is your first time looking for help. I’ve sat on "the couch." I’ve felt the anxiety. I’ve reached for the tissues and sobbed in a stranger’s office. I want to acknowledge your strength and potential as you embark on this beautiful journey of healing and transformation- a coming back to your essence, open to the experiences of the present moment, and confident in your ability to navigate the "ebb and flow" of life. Let me guide you to this place with mindfulness and connection.

From childhood trauma to my own battles with mental illness, to raising special needs children; my life experiences have led to a deep development of empathy.
Is fear sucking the fulfillment from your life? Maybe you’re missing out on things you wish you could do. Do you often feel revved up? Or maybe you feel you relate to Bob from “What About Bob?” a little too closely – cold sweats, hot sweats…blurred vision, involuntary trembling, dead hands, numb lips. We laugh, but the reality is, it’s not fun. Eventually some may crash. You’re tired. It’s exhausting to maintain this state. After prolonged periods, some may slip into a low. Things don’t seem as colorful as they used to. Everything seems a little dull. Literally and figuratively. In either case, you want to feel better.
