Are you looking for a Registered Play Therapist? One of my greatest passions in life is to help children reach their full potential. As a Registered Play Therapist, I offer individual, sibling and family therapy services. I have worked with women, teens and children impacted by physical abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse and secondary victimization. In addition, I have experience with a variety of child related difficulties including anxiety, depression, behavioral difficulties, family disruptions, foster care involvement, adjustment difficulties, self esteem difficulties and cognitive delays. Please let me know how I can best support your child, yourself or your family.

I strive to understand the world that the child lives in and therefore assist them in gaining the skills necessary to form a meaningful connection with those around them. Meaningful connections allow us to understand behavioral difficulties and motivations. I also incorporate Oakley, my Canine Good Citizen, into sessions.
I take great pride in my ability to work with families and offer a supportive environment for children to feel comfortable to express themselves and work through life's challenges. Children deserve every opportunity to be heard and understood. I look forward to supporting your family!
