Child Therapists in Alpharetta, GA
I have a passion for working with children and teens of divorce, address issues of low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, abuse, and with emotional distress in any areas of life.
I specialize in psychological evaluations to address mood/behavioral disorders, learning disabilties, ADHD, and parental issues. My focus in therapy is in helping the client develop a stronger sense of self-sufficiency and wholeness. It takes a lot of courage to come to therapy and be vulnerable, and I strive to honor this. Therapy works best when there is a strong therapeutic alliance and clear goals; therefore, these are the main focus of the initial therapy sessions. I have worked with a variety of clients from childhood to middle adulthood, and through relationship and consistency am able to help clients make valuable and lasting change.

Being a child can be challenging, and parenting them can be even harder! When children are faced with big emotions and challenges, sometimes they need support navigating life in a way that keeps them growing forward. When caregivers have tried books, talking to other parents, and nothing seems to work, therapy can sometimes offer the missing piece they need to help their children. I utilize therapeutic play techniques and developmentally appropriate skills to address challenges with emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and many of the other hurdles kids face every day.

If you are finding it hard to navigate the emotional needs and behavioral issues of your child, you are not alone.
Have issues at home or school left your child depressed, angry or withdrawn? Many times, behavior and mood changes may be your child’s way of communicating that they need help processing the things going on in their lives. When adults are stressed and overwhelmed, other aspects of our lives suffer (e.g. job performance, relationship, etc). Children & teens experience emotional stress in similar ways. Failing grades, self-harm or behavioral issues at home and school are signs that something deeper may be happening. As a parent you may feel helpless. You've tried all you know but nothing works. You just want it to get better!
