I specialize in working with children and their families and have over 20 years of experience. My areas of specialty include play therapy with a variety of social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties; ASD, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental differences; trauma; and parent training. I am a highly trained Play Therapist and a Certified DIR/Floortime Practitioner. At my practice, Nurture Child Therapy, I provide a safe, accepting, and nurturing environment. I meet children where they are at and help them overcome challenges and grow, using the developmental and therapeutic powers of play and nurturing emotional connections.
Parent-child relationships are an important focus of my work, because they are crucial for children's development and emotional well-being. I provide various supports to parents in their journey of raising great kids, who are emotionally regulated, well-integrated, and connected, both to their inner and outer worlds.
Children may feel overwhelmed or stuck sometimes and need a little help to move forward. Or they may have more serious challenges. Whatever the reason that throws your child off balance, do not wait. Together, we can put your child and family in track towards a more peaceful & fulfilling life.
