I look at the developmental stages that a child missed due to trauma or loss.
The "language of children is play." I use expressive therapies like play,drama,sand,and art to help children process their problems and find answers.
When a child plays out a solution to a problem he/she has the unique ability to actually experience success in the moment.
I have taken extensive training to learn how to help children play out their problems. I am one of a very few Registered Play Therapist Supervisors in the state of Arizona.

I serve children, adolescents, adults, and families across diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Hello and welcome to your first step on your journey to healing and personal growth! As we move through life our unique experiences shape us into who we are. At times these experiences can leave wounds and unresolved issues that prevent growth. I work to help clients understand that this does not define who they are but is a piece of their individual life story. The healing process can be a lonely and intimidating journey, but together we can create meaningful opportunities for exploration and a future filled with hope.

I come to you with nearly a decade of experience where I have served children, adults and families.
It happened again. Another restless night. Another day trying to put on a happy face. Another day working hard to keep all the worry, negative feelings, stress and exhaustion buried inside. You are overwhelmed and can’t understand how you got here. Life is stressful. Constant worry, anxiousness, sadness, feelings of emptiness, irritability are all ways that our bodies can respond to the stress of life. Painful life experiences have a way of making us feel trapped. Maybe something painful has happened to you or your child recently or in the past and no matter how hard you have tried to work through it, nothing seems to be working.
