Child & Teen Therapy in Gilbert, Arizona
Child & Teen Therapy in Gilbert, Arizona

If your child struggles with big emotions, anxiety, or frequent meltdowns, you’re not alone. I specialize in working with emotionally sensitive and anxious children and teens using play-based therapy to help them build emotional awareness, regulation skills, and confidence. I also support parents every step of the way.

This therapy creates a warm, safe space where emotionally sensitive and anxious children and teens can explore big emotions, build emotional regulation skills, and grow in confidence. Through child centered play therapy, kids learn to understand their feelings, express themselves safely, and develop coping tools that support emotional growth.
