Children

I provide child-centered play therapy, art therapy and sand tray therapy to help children ages four and up learn to express their feelings, adapt new behaviors, develop problem solving skills, increase self esteem and create meaningful connections with the people in their lives and thrive in their learning environments.

 

My areas of expertise in working with children include trauma, anxiety, OCD, divorce, grief, autistic spectrum disorders, ADD and ADHD, bullying, gender identity and depression. I also provide EMDR services to children.

 

Parent Education

I work with parents to help them discover effective and compassionate parenting skills; including positive discipline, boundary setting, communication, developing strong attachments, and resilience.

 

Through my own journey as a mother, as well as 25 years of working with parents, children and families I have developed a capacity to engage with parents in a safe an accepting manner to help them resolve issues and develop creative and joyful interactions with their children.

 

"It’s not only children who grow.  As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.  I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun.  All I can do is reach for it myself."
-Joyce Maynard
