Life has thrown your family a curveball— anxiety, helping your child on the Autism spectrum navigate daily challenges, or the difficulties that come with divorce. You're watching your child struggle and need someone with deep expertise to help them heal. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor with 15+ years of experience, I've helped hundreds of families when life feels overwhelming for their children. I specialize in Adlerian Play Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy because children process emotions through play, not just talking.
I create a safe space for ages 6-17 to express real feelings and build practical skills for managing anxiety, processing change, and developing social abilities. I work to help my clients strengthen a sense of self by utilizing an array of self esteem building techniques. I also work with parents to help navigate their child's therapeutic journey.
As a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, I train other therapists and stay current with the most effective approaches. I know what works and adapt when needed. My experience as a Telehealth Play Therapist also allows me to work with children all over the state of Georgia.

When addressing anxiety and emotion regulation with clients, I teach a combination of deep breathing, mindfulness, identifying triggers, and reframing. For my autistic clients, the focus shifts to more complex emotional and social issues, with therapeutic activities tailored to their developmental needs. This includes fostering self-awareness, resilience, and effective communication skills.
