I work with children as young as three, teens, and adults, offering a compassionate, individualized approach to healing, with a passion for supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, and anger.
My clinical focus includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and play therapy, particularly for young children navigating big emotions. I also offer animal-assisted therapy alongside my certified therapy dog, Tamari—a sweet and intuitive black lab who brings warmth and comfort to the therapy space.
I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, working closely with children and their families to build trust and create meaningful progress. I believe in the healing power of play and connection, and I work to create a safe space where children can express themselves and feel understood.
