Children respond best to therapy when they are able to express themselves through play, art, sand play, puppets, and games. Often, this is referred to as play therapy. Children's most natural form of communication is play! Play therapy helps children to resolve emotional challenges and guides them to make progress towards in the areas of growth and development. Play therapy works best for children between the ages of 3 and 11. Play therapy helps children to express their feelings, thoughts, needs, gain social skills, change problematic behavior, and gain problem solving skills. I encourage parental involvement as it is so important for children's growth and progress in therapy to have parents take part in therapy.

Teens do very well with talk therapy, the utilization of games, workbooks, sand tray therapy, art, and music. By creating a connection with teens through the ways listed above, most teens do quite well in therapy when they are able to process their hopes, dreams, conflict with peers, stressors at school, family challenges, and by feeling understood by their therapist. A positive relationship with a therapist is so important in the outcome in both individual and family therapy with teens.

Are you looking for a skilled therapist who also can incorporate your faith into treatment? When times get difficult, often people feel lost and disconnected from God. We know how important spirituality plays in an individual's life and how important it is to integrate it into the counseling process. We all have values and pieces of us that make up who we are and what is important to us. If seeking after God and including the principles of Christianity are important to you and your day to day life, we look forward to meeting with you and hearing about your faith journey.
