Let's play! Play therapy is the most effective way to support children's emotional and mental wellness. As an experienced play therapist I pride myself on creating a warm environment for all children to experience connection, healing, and problem-solving. When talking is too difficult, toys, games, and art materials can be a safe vehicle to explore challenges and overcome obstacles. I am also passionate about working with parents and caregivers to strengthen relationships and enhance family functioning. We can work together to understand your child's emotional growth process and collaborate on strategies to support your home!
I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, self-regulation challenges, and stressful relationship dynamics. My approach emphasizes empathy and trust in the therapeutic relationship. I use a Person-Centered and Strengths-Based approach to empower teens and young adults to meet their goals.
I welcome you to reach out and see if we would be a good fit! Whether you are interested in play therapy or talk therapy we can work together to begin sparking positive change. I am confident that we can find new ways to heal, hope, and grow.
