Because parenting did not come with instructions

Seeking therapy for your child can feel overwhelming.

You may be noticing anxiety, emotional outbursts, difficulty with focus, low confidence, social struggles, or ongoing family stress.

Many parents come in feeling:

Concerned
Unsure where to begin
Worried they are missing something important.

With me, therapy is designed to feel supportive, structured, and individualized to your child’s unique strengths and needs. Sessions focus on building practical emotional, behavioral, and social skills that support growth both inside and outside of therapy.

Caregiver collaboration is an important part of the process because meaningful progress happens best when families feel supported too.

Our approach combines warmth, evidence-based strategies, and real-life application to help children and families create changes they can genuinely see and feel in everyday life

Hi, I’m Anaymee.

My experience working with children extends beyond the therapy room. Before becoming a therapist, I worked closely with children and families as a nanny, including supporting children with ADHD and autism. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of the everyday challenges families navigate—from routines and transitions to emotional regulation, communication, and overwhelm.

Because of this, I approach therapy with both clinical knowledge and real-world understanding. I know progress is not just about what happens during sessions, but how skills carry into everyday life at home, school, and relationships.

Using play-based activities, creativity, humor, and engagement to help children feel safe, connected, and open to learning.
Helping clients recognize patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building healthier coping tools.
Working closely with parents and caregivers to support consistency, understanding, and growth outside of sessions.
Supporting children with ADHD and autism in ways that honor their unique strengths while helping them navigate challenges with confidence.
Creating clear, collaborative goals so therapy feels purposeful, structured, and measurable.
Focusing not only on challenges, but also on each child’s abilities, personality, interests, and resilience.
