Are you feeling overwhelmed by your child’s tantrums, outbursts, sleep issues, or social anxiety? I understand how challenging these moments can be. As a passionate registered Play Therapist, I use play to connect with children, helping them express their feelings, manage their emotions, and build strong relationships. I work closely with parents to create a supportive environment that fosters growth and reduces frustration. I genuinely love helping kids thrive and would be honored to partner with you. Book a free 15-minute consult to start this meaningful journey together.

As a play therapist, I help children express emotions & develop coping skills through play. With years of experience, I create a supportive environment for their growth. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss how my expertise can benefit your child. Let's explore how we can work together to support their emotional and behavioral needs

I work with kids 5 and up, teens, and adults. I work Tues to Sat and see clients in person at our Bloomfield office and via telehealth across NJ state. We are a savvy out-of-network practice and will explain your benefits, provide a cost estimate, and submit claims to your insurance company for you.
