Child & Teen Therapy

Many parents notice their kids developing the same patterns they struggle with: perfectionism at school, difficulty managing big feelings, trouble sleeping, or withdrawing when stressed.

This is especially common in neurodivergent kids, where the effort to keep up is invisible until something starts to break.

Often, the work includes supporting you as a parent, because kids don't change in isolation.

You might notice:

  • Anxiety or perfectionism that doesn't turn off

  • Big reactions that don't match the situation

  • Shutting down, withdrawing, or avoiding

  • Acting out because they can't explain what's going on

  • School taking hours because everything has to be "just right"

  • Stress from family changes, conflict, or a parent's substance use

  • Patterns that feel familiar in a way that's hard to ignore

The goal isn't just to manage behavior. It's to understand and change the patterns driving it.

  • Play is a child's natural language. Play therapy allows them to process emotions and experiences through action rather than words.

    • Expressing emotions they don't have words for yet

    • Building regulation through experience, not instruction

    • Processing family changes and stress

    • Learning it's safe to make mistakes and have big feelings

  • Teens get direct, honest conversations that don't talk down to them.

    • Managing stress without being run by it

    • Separating identity from performance

    • Navigating family tension without shutting down or blowing up

    • Understanding emotions instead of pushing through them

    • Making choices that actually match who they are

  • I adjust the approach based on your child, not a fixed method.
