I am a Registered Play Therapist working with children who are hard to reach either because they are angry, anxious, or depressed. Children don't express themselves the same way that adults do, rather, they express themselves more naturally through play. Play is a child's natural way of relieving stress and play therapy is the best practice for working with children. Using Play Therapy most children are able to work through issues in a much shorter amount of time. For more information Call today (910) 407-0052 and check us out at www.AtlasChildCounseling.com

Life is so unpredictable and I want to be there for couples, families and individuals to offer tools to navigate through the tough times. I know all too well the importance of utilizing mental health care, we all face struggles. In my years of working with families and children within public schools and in private practice, I have learned forgiveness and healing is possible. Being released of anxiety and depression and past traumas can happen, if you trust the process of mental health. Therapy is not a overnight process, and I am not a miracle worker, but together we can watch the miracle happen. Take the first step, and call me..

Adjusting to change can be challenging, especially when transitioning through different phases of life. Whether it's a child coping with behavioral issues, a teenager exploring their identity, or an adult facing the complexities of life, such as finding a safe space is crucial for personal growth. Embracing discomfort is key to growth, so if you're prepared to evolve, let's embrace the discomfort together. "Life is not what it is supposed to be, it is what it is; it's how we navigate it that makes a difference."
