Play Therapy
Helping Children Express, Heal, and Grow
Play therapy offers children a creative, nonverbal way to explore and express their feelings. Through play, children can navigate complex emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and learn how to cope with challenges. Play therapy is especially effective for younger children who may struggle to express themselves with words.

Student Mental Health
Supporting Students in Their Academic and Emotional Journey
Student mental health is crucial for success both in and outside of the classroom. Our therapy services help students manage stress, improve coping skills, and build emotional resilience. Whether they are dealing with academic pressure, social anxiety, or emotional struggles, we work with students to create a positive, healthy mindset that fosters personal growth and academic success.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Transforming Negative Thought Patterns for a Healthier You
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. With CBT, you’ll learn practical techniques for changing the way you think and act, improving how you feel in the process. CBT is effective for treating a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress.
Ready to take control of your thoughts and transform your life? Contact us today and start your journey to a healthier mindset.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Building Emotional Resilience and Healthy Relationships
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines elements of mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve their relationships. DBT is particularly effective for those who struggle with self-regulation, emotional distress, or interpersonal conflicts. Our goal is to help you build a life worth living, no matter the challenges you face.
Ready to create balance and find peace in your life? Contact us today to learn more about DBT and how it can help you lead a more fulfilling life.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process distressing memories and experiences that continue to affect their emotional well-being. Often used to address trauma, anxiety, and negative beliefs about oneself, EMDR helps the brain reprocess difficult experiences so they become less emotionally overwhelming. At Wildflower Mental Health Therapy, we provide a supportive, compassionate environment where clients can work through painful experiences at a pace that feels comfortable, helping them move toward greater emotional resilience, confidence, and healing.
IFS
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a compassionate, evidence-informed approach to therapy that helps you better understand the different parts of yourself that influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sometimes, one part of us feels anxious or overwhelmed, while another may be critical, protective, or afraid of getting hurt. Rather than trying to silence these feelings, IFS encourages curiosity, self-compassion, and understanding. At Wildflower Mental Health Therapy, we use IFS-informed approaches to help clients explore emotional patterns, heal from difficult experiences, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness, balance, and inner peace.
ADHD Support
Building on Strengths and Finding What Works for You
ADHD can affect far more than focus. It can shape how you organize your day, manage emotions, follow through on tasks, and feel about yourself at school, at work, and at home. At Wildflower Mental Health Therapy, we work with children, teens, and adults to better understand how ADHD shows up in their daily lives and to build practical strategies that fit the way they think.
Therapy can also address the stress, frustration, and self-doubt that often come with ADHD. For children and teens, we can work with families to support progress at home and at school. Together, we focus on strengths, self-understanding, and steady growth.
Are you or your child looking for support with ADHD? Contact us today to learn how we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Therapy provides a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. With her guidance, you’ll learn practical techniques to manage anxiety and stress, understand your triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. It’s about empowering you to face challenges with confidence and find balance in your life.
During a teen therapy session, you can expect a welcoming and relaxed environment. I’ll focus on building trust and understanding with your teen, exploring their thoughts and feelings, and introducing evidence-based techniques to address their concerns. The goal is to help your teen feel understood and equipped to handle life’s challenges.
In therapy for children, I use play-based techniques to create a fun and safe environment. This helps your child express their feelings and experiences in a way that’s natural for them. Through play, she can address emotions and behaviors, guiding your child towards improved coping skills and emotional well-being.
For adults facing depression, I offer therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These approaches help you identify negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and embrace meaningful life changes, all within a supportive and empathetic environment.
Therapy can help you build self-esteem by exploring underlying beliefs and patterns that affect how you see yourself. She’ll work with you to develop a positive self-image, embrace your strengths, and tackle identity issues. The process encourages self-discovery and personal growth, helping you feel more confident and at ease with who you are.
I am currenlty accepting new clients!
Fees vary. The average is $200.00 per session. A sliding scale is also available if needed.
Wildflower Mental Health Therapy accepts:
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Priority Health, United Health Care, PHP, and more. Our billing department can run your insurance to check your benefits at no fee. It is also important to understand your insurance benefits before beginning psychotherapy. It is ultimately your responsibility to know if your care will be covered.
Even if your provider does not bill your insurance directly, you may have “out-of-network benefits,” on your plan. This means that you can submit a receipt to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
