Child Therapists in Spokane Valley, WA
With children, I use play and art therapy, which can help children feel understood and empowered, gain greater self-awareness and work toward healthy development, social skills and individuation.
Life can be very stressful at times. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time. Sometimes, the coping skills we have learned simply are not enough and we feel overwhelmed and out of control. There is a solution to almost every problem. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe environment so that you can learn to better manage your thinking, feeling and behavior and regain control and power in your life.

I place great importance on assisting clients in finding the tools to succeed and find peace in their world.

In addition to working with adults, I also offer Parent- Child Interact Therapy to kids ages 2-7 who are experiencing behavioral issues.
Throughout life, the struggles we face can leave us feeling as though we are wandering through a never-ending desert without shade, water, or comfort in sight. This can lead us to feeling exhausted, alone, and hopeless. Juniper NW Counseling is about offering that moment of shade, a space to rest, heal and be restored. Whether your desert is depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, isolation in relationships, feelings of inadequacy, or parenting challenges, I work to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to share about the most vulnerable parts of your desert.
