Play Therapy in Severna Park, MD

Life is hard, and we all deserve someone that can help us navigate our worst days and celebrate our best. My goal, as a therapist, is to be the person I needed when I was younger. I strive to create a safe and validating environment that allows my clients to be their truest selves and to be fully heard. I believe that the most important therapeutic tool is the rapport between a therapist and their client. I primarily work with children and adolescents, and have five years of experience providing support in community mental health settings. I have worked with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, Depression, grief, and ADHD.

We all need help sometimes. You don't have to go it alone. I specialize in helping families and children with social and emotional issues, parenting and family dynamics. I offer individual and family sessions for all ages. Using traditional psychotherapy, expressive arts therapy, and play therapy , I take a holistic approach recognizing that many complex factors affect our health, behavior, and relationships.

Making the decision to seek help can be challenging and is a big first step on your journey to wellness. Wellness is not an absence of problems, but it is a process that helps us become more aware and make choices for a healthy and fulfilling life. If you feel overwhelmed and want help developing proper coping skills and self-care, you are not alone. Support is available and change is possible! Although I believe the client is the expert in their life, therapy is a collaborative effort between you and I. Together, we will work on identifying and meeting your wants, needs, and goals.

Being a parent can be really hard! And so can being a kid! Whether it's you or your child who's struggling, I can help you create a more calm, positive, and enjoyable family dynamic. I work with children as young as 4 years old, and utilize play therapy to address issues such as behavioral difficulties, anxiety, peer challenges, and traumatic experiences. For parents who feel "stuck" in their parenting approach, or who have experienced a life-changing event, I offer guidance and support.
