I specialize in working with children and adolescents, with a strong emphasis on building trusting therapeutic relationships and collaborating closely with parents. I utilize Adlerian Play Therapy and trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming approaches to help clients process and express their emotions and experiences through play and conversation. I create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and comfortable being themselves.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, difficulties with emotional regulation, family challenges, and adjusting to life's changes. My approach focuses on meeting clients where they are, offering encouragement, and helping them build capability, courage, and confidence.
Meaningful growth happens through connection, encouragement, and feeling supported every step of the way. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in ways that are meaningful to them while building confidence, coping strategies, and skills that support lasting growth.
