I am an emotion-focused, neurodivergent-affirming, non-directive, Client-Centered therapist. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I focus on supporting clients of all ages who struggle with ADHD, behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, grief, trauma, life transitions, attachment wounds, and relationship conflict. My therapeutic approach is grounded in providing empathy and warmth. I foster a collaborative therapeutic environment that is safe and free of judgment, where individuals feel seen and heard.
I include practices from DBT, neuroscience, mindfulness, attachment, and self-compassion theory to equip clients with tools and psychoeducation for understanding the connection between their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behavior. As your child's psychologist, I utilize non-directive play therapy to promote safe exploration for positive growth.
I welcome individuals from all walks of life, diverse identities, cultures, and backgrounds. I believe in honoring everyone's uniqueness. My goal is to understand each individual deeply. As a result of that understanding, the powerful movement of healing occurs. Contact me to begin your or your child's journey.

In the Non-Directive Play Therapy model, children can better express and process their thoughts and feelings through play because they may not be able to put them into words yet. Non-directive play therapy has been found to be extremely helpful and empirically validated for children struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, low self-esteem, loss/grief, and family issues.

My work is grounded in Humanistic Psychology ideals and focuses specifically on Client-Centered theory, integrating neuropsychology, Attachment and Psychodynamic theory, and narrative storytelling techniques as well. My main therapeutic approach with children ages 3 - 12 involves Non-Direct Play Therapy, which is founded on the idea that play is the "language" of young children.
