Your child deserves to feel heard and to have a safe space to process their emotions.

Curious about play or my other approaches to therapy, including my work with parents & older children/young adults? Please visit my website, www.
Navigating parenthood can be hard & sometimes we need extra support. If you are feeling overwhelmed or watching your child struggle with things such as anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, tantrums, big transitions, & difficult behaviors, you’ve come to the right place. I work with children of all ages & their grown-ups, utilizing a collaborative play-based approach to healing. I am passionate about family work & utilizing the therapeutic powers of play to help children naturally work through their problems. Play is the “language” in which children communicate in a non-threatening way. Just as adults "talk" it out, children play.

I utilize fun, creative and interactive therapeutic techniques to connect with your child.
Children are faced with new challenges, some of which are unique to their generation. It can be a struggle to find the balance between parent and friend. It takes a while to work up the nerve to even have a conversation with your child, and then..they blow you off. Despite your best efforts, talking, good cop/bad cop, rewards, consequences, you just can't get through to them. The tension is getting thicker, arguing more often, and disciplining is just not working. Let's work together to help your child grow and learn through life's many challenges.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Florida provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Florida build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
