When I became a child therapist, I noticed a familiar pattern—kids struggling with big emotions and parents feeling lost on how to help. But here’s what I’ve learned: Parenting with purpose isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up with empathy, creating a safe space for emotions, and building trust through connection. When children feel heard and supported, they learn to confidently manage their feelings. And when parents shift from fixing emotions to guiding them, the family grows stronger. The way we respond to our children today shapes who they become tomorrow. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence. When children feel safe, seen, and supported, they can begin to process what feels too big to handle alone. By combining play therapy, CBT and EMDR, I help children understand their emotions, reframe difficult experiences, and develop the tools they need to thrive. Whatever brought you here—whether you’re facing a tough moment with your child or simply want to deepen your emotional connection—I’m so glad you’ve found this space! Parenting is a journey, and feeling uncertain along the way is completely normal. What truly matters is that you're here. Your child’s growth and well-being are just a conversation away
