About
I love to work with kids and adolescents and their families. I believe people don't have "problems" but rather "challenges" they learn to move through or re-frame. Together we learn new ways of doing things; new ways of looking at things; find a new path of our own choosing that feels better than the one we were on; relate to ourselves and others in a healthier way; learn to smile and laugh more; find the things we are good at doing; make a contribution; stress less; be who we are meant to be, and love who we are as a person!
I have always loved working with kids and my passion and dream is helping young people achieve their goals. I received my MA in Mental Health Counseling and am credentialed by the International Association for Play Therapy. Using the therapeutic power of play I am able to help kids and their families move forward and find resilience.
My goal as a play therapist is to help kids and their families build resilience. I use sound, proven approaches appropriate to their needs. Interventions include art therapy, sand tray, mindfulness, and EMDR. We increase problem-solving and coping skills, emotion identification, expression, and regulation, and social skills.
