As a Registered Play Therapist, I support children, teens, and families navigating anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and social challenges. Many kids feel stuck in big emotions or tough seasons. My child-centered, strengths-based, and evidence-informed approach honors each child’s individuality and what matters most to their family. Through connection and play, we build confidence, resilience, strong relationships, and joy—one step at a time.
My approach is child-centered, playful, and evidence-informed. I blend creative play therapy with practical caregiver collaboration to support expression, connection, and lasting change. I honor what matters most to each child and family. Together, we find strategies that fit your child’s unique strengths and your family’s rhythms.
Healing happens in spaces where kids feel safe to be fully themselves. I strive to create that kind of space—warm, playful, and free of judgment. Whether your child is navigating a tough season or growing through a big transition, I’d be honored to walk alongside your family with care, hope, and heart.
