Counseling in Cary, NC

Therapy for kids and teens ages 4-17

Welcome - I’m really glad you’re here!

Has the smile on your child’s face been replaced with sadness, fear, loneliness, anger?

Or maybe you just want to equip your child with skills that will enable them to successfully conquer whatever difficulty they are facing.

There is often 8-10 years from the onset of symptoms to intervention. Just one example – about one-half of adults with anxiety issues report that their symptoms began in childhood. Intervene now – during the critical developmental years in the life of your child. Equip your child now with coping skills that will carry them successfully into adulthood.

I work from a family perspective and believe that children are part of a much larger family system that must be involved in treatment. You will learn ways to help and come alongside your child.

As a former teacher, registered play therapist and therapist for 16 years, that means, sand, toys, paint, etc. so children have fun as evidence-based methods are implemented.

And for teens...creative approaches so that your teen can have a safe place to “exhale” and talk about not only what is really bugging them but also learn successful ways to cope.

My goal is always to improve and enhance their relationship with you, as their parent.

Allow me to support you as together we replace the hurt your child is facing with hope.
