I have almost 20 years of experience working with wonderful children and young adults with difficult behaviors and struggles, and their families. I have been running my private practice for 6 years and, 4 years ago, started building a farm sanctuary where I hold children’s therapeutic camps and equine assisted and farm play therapy. I have a lot of unique training and education that sets me apart. I am a skilled big picture thinker and can help guide you and your family through the process, gaining clarity along the way. I am playful and gentle in my therapy, and easily connect with my clients, big and small, authentically.
I love working with children using a combination of child-directed play therapy, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence-building skills. I truly enjoy meeting with parents to collaborate on ways to help their child thrive. To me, whether I am working with a child, parents, or an adult, the therapeutic relationship is key and what I do best.
My Midtown play office is comfortable and accessible, reflecting my style with clients and families. My small and gentle (and very patient) dog, Fleur, helps with providing emotional support, holding space, and bearing witness to all our clients bring with them into the therapy room. Contact me today so we can get started building a relationship right away.
