Child Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Accepting new clients - evening and weekends available! I am passionate about working with children and their families. Children are learning about the world around them and they often don't know what their feelings mean or how to communicate them quite yet. When children have been through stressful things, it is even harder for them to express their feelings. And those feelings can come out of kids in big ways! As adults, we can struggle to understand how to help young ones when their emotions get really big. As their adult, you want to help your child and you also need someone to support you. That is where I can help.

The journey begins with you! You have made it this far but may not know where to go from here. Well that’s okay! Challenges, interactions, experiences, and daily life has all impacted us in various forms. Whether you are a friend, partner, sibling, parent, or professional, the art of therapy can be life changing. Though therapy may not always be sunshine and rainbows, I can promise you that your future will thank you. It will thank you for challenging yourself, it will thank you for your strength, and it will also will thank you for the growth that you will obtain just by participating in therapy.
