My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, and I use a combination of evidence-based, psychodynamic, and relational techniques to help you meet your goals and work towards relief and change. I value humor, being present, and meeting you exactly where you are.

Throughout childhood, children express themselves much better through play than by talking. The process of play therapy creates an environment where children do not have to talk directly about their sadness, anxieties, worries, or problems. Instead, children express themselves symbolically through their play; they communicate their conscious and unconscious feelings and experiences and in doing so, see that difficult feelings and memories become less intense and that they are able to work through and find solutions to their problems.
