Helping Children Heal Through Play - Registered Play Therapist Supervisor -Compassionate, Evidence-Based Support for Families Watching your child struggle with big emotions, social challenges, or anxiety can be heartbreaking. As a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor with over 18 years of experience, I create a nurturing space where children can process their feelings, build resilience, and reconnect with their inner strengths—all through the language of play.

I work with children ages 3 and up who are navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, grief, big life transitions, and more. Using developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques, I tailor sessions to meet each child’s unique needs. I also partner closely with caregivers to support healing at home.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S). My approach is grounded in child-centered play therapy, attachment theory, and trauma-informed care. I believe in the healing power of play and the importance of building trust with each child I work with.
