Child, Teen, & Play Therapy for Anxious, Neurodivergent Kids in Centennial, CO

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Your child might seem “fine” on the outside, holding it together at school, meeting expectations, doing what’s asked of them.

But at home, everything spills out.

Meltdowns after school. Shutdowns over small things. Big emotions that seem to come out of nowhere. Or feelings so internalized that you don’t know how much they’re holding until it’s too much.

Maybe your child is:

• Anxious, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed

• Hard on themselves and afraid of making mistakes

• Masking their struggles during the day

• Acting like two completely different kids, depending on the environment

You’re trying to help, but it’s hard to know what they actually need.

Using play-based, nervous-system-informed therapy, I help children express what they don’t yet have words for and make sense of what’s happening inside.

Play is a child’s natural language. Through it, kids can safely process anxiety, release what they’ve been holding in, and build regulation skills in a way that leads to meaningful, lasting change.

I take a neurodivergent-affirming approach, which means I don’t try to change who your child is. Instead, I help them better understand themselves, feel more in control of their emotions, and navigate the world in a way that works for them, celebrating their unique strengths while building self-advocacy skills.
