I love working with children and adolescents! I can support you and your child walk through developmental changes and lifestyle transitions including new schools, anxiety and worry, family changes, parent divorce, trauma and loss. Often times, these changes create BIG feelings that can be hard for kids and teens to understand and express. I enjoy helping young people understand their feelings and partnering with parents to help their child learn to express them in a healthy way.
I create a safe zone for young people to explore emotions & learn about themselves. It is person-centered & very low-pressure, allowing kids/teens to open up and talk as they feel comfortable. Play is my primary tool in therapy; kids communicate so much through their play and teens are often less guarded when engaging in play (like drawing or card games).
I fully believe that you want what is best for your child and want to see them thrive! Every kid has a unique personality that deserves to shine; it would be my privilege to support you and your child as they learn to shine and be their very best. I look forward to meeting you and hearing more about your child and family!

I see most of my kids twice a month. We play games, create art, play with action figures or dolls, and just have fun! I encourage parents to tell their little ones that they are coming to play with Ms. Virginia. I let kids have their safe space for therapy and have regular meetings with parents to update progress on therapeutic goals and see how things are going at home.
