Toddler Therapists in Keller, TX

Are you struggling with work, relationships, and/or parenting concerns? Does your child struggle at home, childcare, and/or school? My belief is we do the best we can with what we know. I believe there is a need behind behaviors and once that need is identified and addressed, new behaviors can develop. We need a space that we can be heard, validated, and learn new ways to tackle difficulties in our lives. I specialize in working with children and their families to reduce problematic behaviors such as aggression, anxiety, depression, and social concerns.

I have extensive experience counseling individual adults and children, couples, and families who are struggling with recovery from abuse, trauma, grief, depression, or emotional and behavioral disorders. During counseling, I use different techniques to help individuals explore and better understand their situations and the steps they can take to lead them towards the change they desire. I work with children ages 3-10 in a format called play therapy. During play therapy, I work to understand the child's play and help him learn how to change the way he thinks about, feels toward, and resolves concerns.
