Kids learn through play. I have seen the value of play as it supports and helps a child grow and learn. Whether I am participating in imaginary play with your child or involving your teen in a favorite card game, I believe kids and adolescents can better process difficult emotions in an atmosphere of therapeutic connection and play. I am committed to supporting my clients in therapy while also assisting the parent/guardian. I am a firm believer that parents/guardians are co-regulators for their child’s emotions.
Children and adolescents need support more than ever. In my practice, I desire to support the overall mental health of your child or adolescent by incorporating what I have learned in my Master of Professional Counseling studies and my years of working in Pediatric Occupational therapy.
I look forward to meeting and working with you and your child. Feel free to send me an email or call!
