Approach To Therapy

Dr. Holly’s approach to therapy is centered on creating a supportive and empathetic environment that promotes healing and growth. Dr. Holly utilizes evidence-based, developmentally appropriate interventions tailored to each family’s unique needs. 

By integrating play therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and trauma-informed care, Dr. Holly supports families in creating a safe space where children can express themselves and parents can gain a deeper understanding of their child’s experiences. 

With a focus on strengthening the parent-child relationship and enhancing communication within the family, together we will work towards fostering emotion regulation, resilience, and positive behavioral change. 

Dr. Holly’s goal is to support families in building strong, secure relationships and to equip children and families with practical strategies for managing stress and enhancing overall wellbeing.
