Helping children feel safe and understood
Hi, I'm Lillian. Young children often can't put words to what they're feeling — but they show it in their behavior, their play, and their reactions. I create a warm, playful therapeutic environment where children feel safe enough to open up and begin to heal.
I've equipped my practice with the most effective approaches for working with young children — play therapy, CBT, DBT, parent-child therapy, and art therapy — tailored to each child's personality and needs.
Children I help are often dealing with...
- Anxiety, worry, and excessive fear
- Depression and emotional withdrawal
- ADHD and attention challenges
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Childhood trauma and PTSD
- Behavioral and oppositional issues
- Grief, loss, and life transitions
- Self-esteem and body image
A therapist teens will actually open up to
I've been working with teenagers since 2012 — first as a youth leader, then as a therapist. I understand today's teen culture, social pressures, and school stress in a way many older clinicians simply can't. Teens don't need another lecture. They need someone in their corner.
If you don't have the proper tools, working with teens is a challenge for both parents and therapists. That's why many therapists won't see teenagers. I've developed effective, proven approaches specifically for this age group.
Teens I help are often dealing with...
- Anxiety and depression
- Identity and self-esteem questions
- School stress and academic pressure
- Social media and peer pressure
- Family conflict and communication breakdown
- Emotional outbursts and withdrawal
- Gender and sexual identity questions
