Currently accepting HUSKY, Optum, United, Anthem, Aetna, and private pay.
My ideal clients are children ages 3–17 and their families who are navigating emotional, behavioral, social, school-related, or developmental challenges. Families often seek support for anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), behavioral concerns, family transitions, or difficulties at school. Using a strength-based, trauma-informed, and play-focused approach, I help children build skills, confidence, and emotional awareness while coaching parents with practical strategies that support lasting growth and positive change at home, school, and in the community.
