Your child is struggling with anxious or sad feelings. Irritability, defiance and outsized anger are prevalent in many of your interactions. Children often "hold it together," at school and then fall apart at home. As a parent, you feel triggered and at the same time hopeless when your attempts to understand or comfort fail. Feeling seen, understood and validated are imperatives for healthy development and self esteem. Parents struggling with patience and reactivity to challenging behaviors will find difficulty providing consistent communication and empathy. You seek for your child positive coping skills so that they flourish.
My approach is strength based and relational. I have decades of expertise working with school aged children. With play therapy techniques I create an engaging environment for children to safely explore their full range of feelings. I tailor interventions by leaning into your child's passions which help them to open up and develop an "emotional toolbox."
It's natural to feel vulnerable in reaching out. We can't ignore how the ongoing stressors of world events, Covid-19, and the power of screens impact our nervous systems. Finding the best fit for your child and family requires a leap of faith. I provide direct yet gentle feedback. I am curious, compassionate and find light in darkest of places.

I'm especially attuned to children struggling with anxiety and depression that often come from a place of not feeling like they do not fit in. I will help your child build an "emotional tool box," to better cope with stressors and activate resilience. For parents, I will help you identify your triggers and shift your responses, improving your confidence and increasing your patience.

I've known Ms. Rosen's work for 20 years and give my highest recommendations as a parent coach and therapist. Parent coaching requires incisive sight into a family system and a generous heart to hold each person with deep respect. At this she is a master!

I primarily use play therapy to support children. I learn their passions and interests which creates an environment of trust and safety. This includes art, movement, story telling, role play and therapeutic games to explore internal experiences. With teens I may introduce Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills training to help connect thoughts to emotions to improve functioning and self concept.
