I work with children from early childhood through school-age who are experiencing emotional regulation challenges, trauma/stressors, behavioral concerns, anxiety, or difficulty with relationships in their lives. I have worked with children in various settings such as outpatient mental health clinics, early childhood environments, and in schools - including working with students receiving special education services. I also have experience providing support and psychoeducation to caregivers around attachment, parenting challenges, and family stressors.
My clinical approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in play-based techniques that help children express themselves in a developmentally appropriate, safe manner. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-focused practices to best support each child's unique needs and circumstances.
I prefer a systems approach to partner closely with the important people in a child's life, such as their caregivers and/or school teams to ensure consistency and to build skills in all environments. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where children feel understood, can express themselves freely, build emotional awareness, and develop confidence!
