Play Therapy & Trauma Therapy sessions available! Short waitlist for evening sessions.
Do you or your child experience confusing emotions or behaviors? Do you struggle to express yourself or understand others? Have you been through trauma or stressors that altered the way you see life all together? Sometimes we know what's wrong but haven’t found lasting change. The weight of these challenges affects our relationships, functioning, physical health, and overall sense of wellbeing. I understand it can feel impossible to take action when life feels so heavy.
I specialize in using play therapy and trauma therapy to help children with Trauma/PTSD, social/communication issues, and behavioral issues. My focus with adults is inner child healing, trauma healing, and parenting. I love helping my clients develop and implement strategies for coping and communication together in session.
Having spent many hours as a client myself, I know therapy isn't easy, but I believe anyone can do this challenging, life-changing work with the right resources. I would love to hear from you - please reach out! Please note: I prioritize privacy & want my clients to feel comfortable in my space, regardless of their background or identity.
