Life can be overwhelming and emotional when children and adolescents are struggling with mental health concerns and challenges. Trauma leaves feelings of anxiety, depression, worthlessness that can make everyday interactions a struggle. Individuals need to feel safe, secure, feel valued and have a sense of belonging to fully participate in their lives. Treatment options should focus on their developmental stage, strengths and values. Building self-esteem, confidence and self image is the first step to healing.
I utilize strength based approach and child-centered focus to build rapport and trust, meeting clients where they are in their journey. Utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral, Trauma Focused, Attachment Based, Expressive Arts, Sand Tray and Play Therapy. Assisting clients to learn to trust others and to feel safe is essential to healing and living a fulfilling life.
It is heart wrenching your child struggle mentally and emotionally. We feel powerless, helpless, overwhelmed and hopeless. The intensity and stress of situations can make finding a solution difficult. Everyday activities are challenging, become chaotic, stressful. I provide a safe, loving and nurturing space for healing and recovery.
