As a Registered Play Therapist, I have a passion of working with young children (ages 3+) utilizing the power of play to allow children to process through challenges and experiences and to learn and practice new skills. I love working with parents to help strengthen the relationship between parent and child that can be challenging during trying times. I also work often with adults and teens to provide support though the myriad of concerns and struggles that arise throughout life with infertility being one of my specialities.
Regardless of age, I typically operate from the client-centered perspective in which I believe that you are the expert of you and that with support, encouragement, and guidance you are able to determine what fits best for your life and your situation. Essentially, I do not follow a one size fits all approach and understand that we are all unique.
I always strive to help my clients unlock insight and work together to answer some of those “why” questions that we often ask ourselves, about our experiences/responses, or about others. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I look forward to working with you and/or your child! *Available for any TX, CO, or WA residents on telehealth*

While I do specialize (and love) working with children and parenting, working with individuals who have or are currently experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss is one of my passions. It is a unique and personal experience that people are often unsure how to respond to or what to say, which can feel unsupportive. I'd love to be alongside you for your journey.
