I specialize in working with children ages 2 to 8 who are struggling with big feelings, anxieties, and challenging behaviors. While adults find relief in talking over their difficulties with an understanding therapist, children often cannot express their thoughts and feelings in words. Because children often do not have the words to express feelings, they may represent how they feel through acting out. When children have the opportunity to show how they feel through toys, they often feel better because their feelings have been released. You have probably felt something similar when you have been upset and confided in someone caring.
Through play therapy, children learn how to express their thoughts and feelings in constructive ways, to control their behavior, to make decisions, and to accept responsibility.
I am a mom, and I deeply understand the guilt and stress we can carry as parents. That is why I can also come to your child's school during school hours if you prefer, so that you don't have to stress and schlep after school. I am looking forward to meeting you and supporting your family.

Comedy Therapy (for Adults)
Comedy is therapy : ) Are you struggling with feelings of disconnection and isolation? Are you too self-critical or perfectionistic and want to work on your self-esteem and sense of self? Do you want to learn how to let go, have fun, and live in the moment? Do you like to laugh? Within a small supportive group that meets for eight weeks, you will learn coping skills that will help you to better manage feelings of social anxiety and self-doubt so that you can feel calmer and more connected.
