If you’re looking for a child therapist in Homewood, IL, you
may be noticing changes in your child’s emotions or behavior and aren’t sure
how to help. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, emotional
outbursts, or difficulty expressing themselves, it can feel overwhelming as a
parent. I specialize in working with young children (ages 3+) using play-based
and trauma-informed approaches to help them feel safe, understood, and better
able to express their emotions.

childhood therapy (ages 3+)

and trauma-informed care

My Approach
My approach is person-centered and child-focused, meaning I
meet each child where they are and allow them to express themselves in ways
