Children and young adults often experience things they don’t yet have words for

‍ ‍‍ ‍

yet those experiences still shape how they respond and relate.

A Different Way of Understanding

What shows up as behavior or withdrawal often reflects something deeper:

• Emotional overwhelm or shutdown

• Difficulty expressing feelings

• Changes in mood or behavior

• Challenges with transitions or independence

These are not problems to fix, but signals to understand.

What This Work Supports

• Emotional regulation and expression

• Anxiety and overwhelm

• Navigating transitions and developmental shifts

• Identity and independence in young adulthood

• Social and relational challenges

• Experiences that are difficult to put into words

How I Work

With children, therapy may include play-based or creative approaches that allow expression beyond words. With young adults, the work often focuses on identity, autonomy, and transitions.

My early work with children in a special education middle school setting continues to inform how I approach this work.

A Space for Growth

Children and young adults benefit from a space where they can explore, express, and make sense of their experiences without pressure.

Together, we support both understanding and meaningful change over time.

What to Expect

• Increased emotional awareness and expression

• Improved regulation and flexibility

• Greater confidence and independence

• More ease in relationships and daily life

• A clearer sense of self

What You May Be Noticing

• Your child is struggling to express or regulate emotions

• You’re noticing changes in behavior or mood

• Your young adult is navigating identity, independence, or transitions

• Something feels “off,” even if it’s hard to explain

Behavior is often communication, within the child, and within the relationship.

What is expressed is often asking to be understood.

Therapy is offered in-person in Boulder, CO, and via telehealth throughout Colorado and New Hampshire
