As a dedicated child and adolescent therapist, I believe that healing and self-discovery happen through experience, not just conversation. In my practice, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where young minds can explore their emotions and thoughts through various expressive modalities. Utilizing techniques such as drawing, role play, pantomime, storytelling, play therapy, movements, dance, poetry, and music, I help children and adolescents engage with their inner world in a way that feels natural and supportive.
My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the unique emotional layers of each child and adolescent, offering them the freedom to express themselves without fear and inhibition. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities , including Gestalt Play Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy , Art Therapy, and Somatic Trauma Therapy.
I have also adapted these creative interventions for online therapy. If you're seeking a therapist who honors the language of play and creativity, while also integrating powerful therapeutic techniques to support your child growth, I am here to help them walk through their experiences safety and confidently.
