I offer a warm, trauma-informed approach tailored to each child and family. Our work begins with creating a safe, trusting space where children can express themselves through play at their own pace. Sessions are guided by the child's needs and may include play-based, creative, and relational strategies to support emotional regulation, processing of trauma, and resilience.

Play therapy offers children a safe and gentle way to express their experiences, build emotional wellbeing, and develop resilience. Trauma is a core passion of my work, and I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space where children feel understood and safe to heal through play. I warmly welcome families seeking wellbeing, connection, and ongoing support.
