Play Therapy for Emotionally Sensitive & Anxious Children

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.

PLAY THERAPY FOR EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE & ANXIOUS CHILDREN & teens

 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.

Parent support & Coaching

 Parenting an emotionally sensitive or anxious child can feel exhausting, overwhelming, and confusing. Many parents worry they are “doing it wrong” or feel unsure how to respond when big emotions take over.

Parent support and coaching provides a warm, collaborative space to help you better understand your child’s emotional needs, strengthen connection, and build confidence in how you respond. Together, we focus on practical tools that support calmer homes, stronger relationships, and emotional growth.
