Angry child yelling

Let me come alongside you in this parenting journey and help your child understand their emotions more.

I help children to slow down and develop an increased self-awareness about their frustration and anger levels.

As your child slows down and develops more understanding about their anger and aggression, their ability to express their needs in a productive manner and to calm down faster after frustrations increases.

How will play therapy help with anger and aggression?

In the play room, there are also toys that serve as a separate medium for children to safely explore their aggressive needs, have an outlet , and better understand the root cause of their anger.

Through play, your child explores the different consequences and effects of their emotions, behaviors, and actions, which helps them to make more informed decisions in scenarios outside of the therapy room.

A note on faith and culture:

I am a Christian therapist, and I believe that faith is an significant component in our lives.

However, I will follow your and your child’s lead on how to incorporate faith into our sessions together. If you and your child choose to not explore your belief systems, I will respect that.

I am also a first generation Asian American. I understand that the expression of anger and aggression vary culture to culture and even within the same culture, and I invite that to be part of the conversation in the counseling office.
