Personalized mental health care for families in Grand Forks.

Our Approach

With children and families, I use Adlerian Play Therapy which is a systems approach to looking at the family as a whole. Kids don’t develop in a bubble. I believe we can better understand what is going on with your child by looking both at them individually, in the family, and at school. Through their experiences and behaviors in these environments and settings, we can get a fuller picture and better learn how to help your child and your family. Children do not come to therapy to talk. Play therapy enables them to process their experiences through play using things like experiential play, storytelling, metaphors, art, movement, music/dance, and sand tray therapy.
