Children don’t always have the words to express what they’re feeling—but they do have play. I specialize in working with children using evidence-based play therapy approaches that help them safely explore emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen self-confidence.

Life does not come with a roadmap, and sometimes we can feel stuck or lost, no matter how hard we try! Especially for families navigating life with ADHD, Autism, giftedness, or twice-exceptionality, it can feel like the different spaces we spend time in are not always set up for us, and that’s often because they are not! It can be hard to figure out a path forward and can feel like we are spinning our wheels but getting nowhere. Parenting is not one size fits all, and it can be helpful to have a few extra tools in your parenting toolbox that are customized to each child.

Parenting today comes with pressures no generation has faced before: screens, social comparison, anxiety that starts younger and younger. Maybe your child is struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, friendships, or body image. Maybe school has become a battleground: bullying, low motivation, behavior concerns. For over 25 years, first as a school counselor and now in private consultation, I've worked alongside parents and children ages 5 through young adulthood navigating exactly these moments, helping families find clarity and a concrete next step forward.

I'm passionate about working with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, trauma, depression, sensory processing issues, ADHD, behavioral challenges, bullying, low self worth, or parenting struggles. I've been working with children, teens, adults, & families in various settings for 25+ years. Most of the clients I see are between the ages of 4 to 22. The majority of the concerns I hear are my child is highly sensitive &/or struggles with sensory overwhelm, anxiety, anger, depression, impulsivity, or grief. I provide care and compassion for parents too as they walk through this journey with their child.

You deserve a space where your full story is seen, heard, and honored. People who come to work with me are often seeking clarity, healing, and relief. They may be tired of masking, of navigating systems that don’t support them, or of constantly trying to “fix” themselves when what is truly needed is understanding. I strive to offer that space—one where they feel deeply heard, never judged, and where their full story is honored. I understand the nuances of family dynamics, the impact of trauma, and the richness and complexity of identity. Together, we work towards goals like managing intense emotions and healing relational wounds.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
