About

Is your child navigating intense emotions? Are you feeling overwhelmed by countless blog posts on the ‘right’ ways to support them? Maybe your child is experiencing some of the many stressors of growing up—transitioning to kindergarten, moving from elementary to middle school, getting in trouble at school, making and keeping friends, dealing with fears like the dark or monsters, handling separation from you, welcoming a new sibling, or facing other family challenges. Starting therapy can feel daunting and uncomfortable; I understand. It’s not easy to be vulnerable or to entrust someone with your child’s well-being. My priority is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you and your child feel comfortable. Therapy is about building a trusting relationship that encourages sharing even the most difficult topics. Once that trust is in place, therapy becomes a creative, collaborative journey, where together we discover new ways to heal and grow. While I also work with teens, I have a special focus on play therapy with children. For children, play is a natural way to communicate, much like words are for adults. Through play, children can explore, process, and grow in a way that feels natural and supportive. I look forward to meeting you and finding the best ways to support your family!

"Making sure the client feels comfortable and safe is my first priority. That said, I begin by using child-centered play therapy and person centered techniques to build the foundation of trust."
