I create a safe space for your child to know they are not alone with their thoughts and feelings. I help families develop a deeper understanding of their child's behaviors and experiences. Taking the first step in asking for help is the most crucial step in the journey of repairing.

I provide a neurodiverse affirming practice. I use multimodal approaches in my play therapy. Children naturally recreate their life experiences in their play. This is especially true when the child is working through painful and difficult emotions.

I offer practical real-lived experience from parenting my own two beautifully complex young adult children. We are a neurodiverse family and part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am play-based and come from a family-systems approach. I believe that all behavior is communication and if we listen and observe children will reveal their needs with our help and support to guide them in this process. I believe in the lastest brain science to inform my practice. I take a bottom-up approach to help children understand their body/mind connection to understand their feelings.
