I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families, and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. Adults I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. My work with children began in my earliest days as a therapist - and it continues to be a central part of my practice.

I provide a safe and comfortable space for clients and believe that the creative processes can be used in combination with other interventions including psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness - engaging in a collaborative approach to best serve the client. As an art therapist, I have witnessed clients who have been able to process and communicate through art in ways where words may not have done justice to their feelings and experiences. I also understand that art therapy might not be for all and can support clients who wish to engage in talk therapy without including creative interventions.

Your child is struggling and you are not sure what to do. The once happy child you knew seems to no longer be there, and you so desperately want them to be able to be happy again. You are seeing your child’s distress come out in the form of anger explosions, isolation or extreme emotions, and you know there must be a lot happening inside them that they need to express. Your child may have gone through significant life transitions, loss, or trauma, and you want them to be able to process these events now so the impact doesn’t linger into adulthood. You want what is best for your child and to help them find a way back to who they are.

Another slammed door, shriek and the sound of broken glass that sends your heart rate spiraling and your thoughts racing. "Oh no, not again!" You've tried everything that you can think of to change your child's behavior. You spoke to professionals and educators, tried punishing and rewarding but it's no use. Nothing seems to make a difference. The frustration that you feel is eclipsed only by the guilt that this is somehow the fault of your parenting - it's not. You want to give your child their best chance at success, but you don't know how. It feels like you are letting your child down.

Toddler Therapists

What are the behavioral signs indicating a toddler might need counseling?

Common behavioral signs that a child may need counseling include high levels of emotional distress or anxiety, learning challenges, interpersonal conflict, anger, or social withdrawal. Any drastic changes in toddler behavior or self-esteem can be indicative that a child may benefit from therapy. Seeing a therapist at the early stages of any behavioral changes can be most impactful on behavior, as well as helpful to caregivers who may receive guidance on what symptoms to look for in their child in the future, even if therapy is not warranted at that time.

Can a two-year-old see a psychologist?

Children and adults of all ages can see psychologists and other forms of mental health professionals, such as counselors, psychiatrists, and social workers. Families seeking therapy for their toddler should just be aware that any guidance they seek should come from a professional who has specific experience working with young children, as well as the specific modalities that are appropriate for young children, such as play therapy.

What is the most effective type of therapy for toddlers and preschoolers?

In general, play therapy is the most effective and common form of therapy for young children. Play therapy helps facilitate behavior change by offering an age-appropriate way for children to express their emotions and develop more effective coping strategies. Toddlers with specific concerns may benefit from more specialized forms of therapy, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for toddlers in families in which there is significant parent-child relational conflict.

What happens during therapy sessions for toddlers?

What occurs in therapy sessions for toddlers depends on the therapeutic approach being used by the therapist. Most toddler therapists will use some form of play therapy in sessions to encourage toddler engagement. In play therapy sessions, children are encouraged to use toys within the therapy setting to express their emotions; subsequent responses by the therapist and/or family members can help guide toddler behavior and behavior change. Toddler therapy sessions can also involve family therapy or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which can help improve parenting behaviors and reduce strain on families.
