Child Therapy

Common Issues:

• Self-esteem
• Divorce
• Excessive worry and Anxiety
• ADD/ADHD
• Social and peer problems
• Anger
• Bullying
• Motivation

Children can exhibit behavioral issues when there are external and/or internal stressors such as divorce, bullying, sibling issues, ADD/ADHD or histories of neglect or abuse. Often children feel overwhelmed by emotions though do not understand what they are feeling, why they are feeling and how to express their feelings. Children, especially younger children, express their feelings through play. I use Expressive Arts, Play Therapy and Sandtray Therapy to teach children how to identify, label and express their feelings in ways that are appropriate, self-soothing and empowering. These experiences enhance confidence, social skills and motivation.
