Is your child acting out, mad, or sad? Are they not listening? Are they going through a difficult time and need help to get unstuck? Maybe they are not connecting well enough socially? Perhaps you're just concerned about them and you want a professional child therapist to provide insight and therapeutic support? If your child is depressed, moody, anxious, or has social issues, I am here. I am a best fit for you if you are looking for a child-specific therapist who will provide your child with play and talk therapy while keeping you activated in a strategy that supports the changes we make in the therapeutic practice.
I meet your kiddo's needs with a combination of providing education and resources to parents and doing CBT, DBT, play therapy with the child or adolescent. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds with the intention of creating a safe space that empowers them. I am looking forward to helping your child and providing some techniques for you too.
I understand what it is like to be a young person in therapy. I have lived my own therapy experience at a young age and that enlightened me to carry the torch and light the path for others. I truly enjoy working with children and adolescents and their families. You will find me to be strong and soft, and easily adaptable to the person and situation.

I am an experienced, active professional and will join you where you are at in building a treatment plan to move your child ahead. I may offer homework or other supports in coordination with our goals for therapy. I like to incorporate the family as necessary and along with traditional talk therapy with your child I build play therapy into the process to enhance the experience and meet goals.

In addition to talk therapy I use play therapy. Play therapy is essential to solidifying ideas from our treatment objectives. Also play therapy builds better rapport and connection with the child. There is much purpose within our play!
