I love working with clients (2-18) who have ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorders, and other forms of neurodivergence. I use play therapy to connect with them and help them learn about their brains, their emotions, and new, more comfortable ways of expressing themselves and meeting their needs. I also enjoy connecting with parents who feel alone in the unique challenges that come with parenting these children. It can be hard to feel like the challenges are respected and the positives appreciated.
I try to anticipate and meet my clients' needs. This starts with our low-lighting waiting room where parents and siblings are welcome to spend time. We have a sensory friendly room for when my clients are feeling overwhelmed, a Child-Centered Play Therapy playroom, and a space with access to sandtray therapy materials and lots of art materials.
I am excited for the chance to get to know you and your family. I work (most frequently) with neurodivergent children and adolescents. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified AutPlay Therapist, and I'm awaiting final approval of my Registered Play Therapist designation.

I operate from a neurodiversity affirming lens. Our brain wiring/neurotype does not make us less than. I work to help clients and their families better understand their neurodivergence so that they can identify strengths and areas of difficulty in a way that is not shaming. I want to help my clients and their families feel comfortable with who and how they are, not change them to fit the mold.

I use play based and expressive techniques in my treatment. I like to use child-centered approaches and move into more directive approaches as relationship builds. I integrate a lot of psychoeducation about neurodivergence, the brain-body connection, and how our sensory systems impact our functioning. Don't worry if you don't know these words. I will teach you!
