Child and Teen Therapy
Playful, Safe Support for Kids and Teens
In person in Birmingham
Big feelings deserve a safe place to land.
Whether your child is shows signs of persistent worry, struggles to regulate their feelings, is easily overwhelmed, or is struggling to cope with change — therapy can help them feel more understood, confident, and secure.
In my cozy, colorful office, kids and teens have a place to share worries, learn calming tools, and practice new ways to handle life’s ups and downs through play, art, and conversation that matches their age.
How do I know if my child or teen might need therapy?
Worries a lot or fears bad things will happen
Trouble with sleep, school refusal, or transitions
Big meltdowns or outbursts over small things
Withdrawn, quiet, or keeps feelings inside
Struggles with perfectionism or social anxiety
Mood changes, sadness, or low self-esteem
Grief or family changes that feel too heavy alone
Shows big behaviors at home or at school
I use attachment-based, developmentally appropriate therapy so kids feel safe to explore feelings and teens feel respected and heard.
I blend:
Play therapy for younger kids
Expressive arts and creative tools
Gentle talk therapy for older children and teens
Parent collaboration so you feel supported too
Together, we help your child:
Understand and name big feelings
Build coping and calming skills
Develop boy sensation awareness
Feel brave and more flexible in everyday life
Strengthen family connection
Develop a toolbox for regulation
Increase connection between themselves and others
