Children and Adolescents

Katie’s work with children and adolescents involves meeting the unique needs of each child and teen where ever they may be, personally or developmentally, through an integrated approach that includes neuroscience, attachment, and play.

Play is a child’s language, so Katie offers play therapy in order for children to better express their feelings and experiences. Neuroscientific studies prove that meeting a child where they are developmentally is essential for vital growth.

Katie also collaborates with parents to offer developmental insights and understanding of their child as well as how to practically engage with them. She uses “The Whole Brain Child,” “Brainstorm,” and resources from “Educate and Empower Kids” as references for parents. She incorporates approaches from these in sessions with parents, working to help bridge the gap between children and adults. As a result, children and parents are better able to connect and flourish.
