Hello, neighbor! Often, just being here - seeking help - is challenging and uncomfortable. For this reason alone, I'm glad you're here. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have lost their way and are looking for a place to reorient and find their way back home. I believe that we all have the capacity and innate drive to grow, heal, and be well. In our work together, "wholeness" may look like processing trauma, exploring self-identity, building self-empathy, increasing your confidence as a caregiver, or helping your child tap into their full potential.
I focus on facilitating safe, secure, and nurturing relationships where we can work together towards healing. With children, I utilize child-centered play therapy - a developmentally appropriate, culturally inclusive, and evidence-based approach - and work closely with caregivers to support their child's healthy emotional development.
If you think my approach might be a good fit for you and you are interested in therapy for yourself or your child, I invite you to reach out to me or visit the linked website for additional information on the services I am able to provide. Wherever you land, I wish you the very best on your journey. I'm proud of you, and I hope you're proud of you too.
