Have you or your child felt off lately? Maybe you’ve noticed frequent nervousness, increased friction in relationships, or a persistent, low mood. These issues can cause harm in relationships, especially between children and their caregivers. While these struggles can feel insurmountable, repair is possible. Through talk therapy, play-based intervention, and Music Therapy, I can help to improve communication, address fear/anxiety, process trauma, and continue to build resilience.
Creative outlets provide the perfect medium for self-expression. I have spent countless hours engaging young clients in play and music-based interventions. Additionally, I have experience working with teens to build healthy boundaries, recognize unsafe patterns in relationships, work through issues related to identity, and improve self-esteem.
I strive to create a safe and inclusive environment. If you believe I might be a good fit for you or your child, please reach out to schedule a consultation!

I approach therapy from a holistic, person-centered mindset. We'll explore the mind/body connection and practice calming techniques. So much can feel out of your control. It's important to practice coping skills to help you through difficult moments.
