Every child yearns to be seen, heard, and understood.
I specialize in play therapy for ages 2.5 to 12. I allow the child to lead the play and make choices throughout the session. I model breath-work and mindfulness techniques in every session. I believe a child speaks best through their non-directed play. My role is to guide your child through their worries and back to their greatest gifts.

Children, adolescents, and families are the focus of my practice.
I offer individual therapy, parent guidance, and family therapy to create the changes needed to improve children's behavior, strengthen parents' roles, and enrich family relationships. Children learn to manage the stresses that are affecting them in their lives (e.g. school, new siblings, following rules, divorce, adoption), and they learn to express themselves positively.
