I work with children and their caregivers around issues related to anxiety, depression, life adjustments/transitions, relational problems, behavioral concerns, school difficulties, grief/loss, self esteem, parenting challenges, and family conflict. I enjoy helping children gain insight into their experiences through psychodynamic play therapy and supporting parents' understanding of their child's emotional needs and behaviors. We all internalize our early experiences, and it has an impact on how we parent and relate to our children. When we are triggered from our own past, it can disrupt our ability to connect with our children.

You know yourself and/or your child better than anyone does.
Being a kid, teen, or young adult these days is pretty complicated, and parenting can certainly feel overwhelming at times. Sometimes, challenges seem to appear out of nowhere, and other times, things have felt hard for a long time. Either way, counseling can help by providing a safe, trusted space to seek solutions, growth, and healing.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Raleigh, NC provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Raleigh build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
