Does your kid easily become overwhelmed by big emotions, & does that overwhelm often lead to melt downs? Maybe your kid seems to get stuck in the overwhelm & has a hard time coming out of it, sometimes even derailing the whole day. Is your kid melting down over the most seemingly minor things, when they aren't perfect, or things don't go exactly as planned? Maybe they feel paralyzed by anxiety that is keeping them from doing the things that they like or creating high levels of fear. Whether they are melting down, becoming aggressive, angry, defiant, or avoiding situations/activities due to high levels of anxiety, I'm here to help!

As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, I specialize in working with children who are presenting with symptoms of hyper-arousal (as noted above) and helping them learn regulation skills amidst this activation. I also offer a Play Therapy Immersion for when you are looking to decrease the intensity of the activation now vs over time.

If you'd like to receive play therapy services for your child AND support/resources for yourself, please reach out! I want to give you the tools to support your child outside of the playroom, and as such, each play therapy session includes a consultation/coaching session with the caregiver(s) at no additional cost.
