My ideal clients are children and their families navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional or behavioral challenges, low self-esteem, or attachment concerns. Many parents come to therapy feeling exhausted, worried, or unsure of what else to try. I believe that behind every behavior is a need. Together, we work to understand what your child's behavior is communicating, helping them build emotional regulation, confidence, and healthy coping skills while strengthening connection within the family. Parents are an important part of the healing process, so I provide guidance and practical tools that can be carried into everyday life.
As an LPC-S and RPT-S, I tailor therapy to each child's unique needs using play-based, attachment-focused, and evidence-based approaches, including Play Therapy, Sand Tray, EMDR, TBRI, Theraplay, and IFS. I also have training in the AutPlay Therapy framework to support neurodivergent children and their families.
Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and supported, and every parent deserves hope along the way. I'd be honored to learn more about your family and help you determine whether we're a good fit for your journey.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to each child's unique strengths, needs, and developmental stage. Together, we'll identify your goals and create a plan that helps your child feel safe, understood, and supported while building the skills needed for lasting growth.
