I am a compassionate and empathetic therapist who specializes in working with children and families. I work to create a safe and comfortable environment to help children give voice to areas where they are struggling. My goal is to help children express and navigate the demands of their environment in order to gain a better sense of safety, stability, happiness, and overall wellbeing.
I'm a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) and registered play therapist (RPT). I work with children six to twelve years of age using child centered therapy (non-directive and directive approaches).
If you're interested in receiving therapeutic support for your child and family, please reach out. If scheduling aligns and it feels like a good fit we can schedule an intake to further address your child's individual needs. Currently, I have daytime appointments available.
