My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for children and their parents explore life's many challenges.
My approach to working with children is based on the understanding that play is a window into the child’s mind. Because children’s verbal skills are not fully developed, they use play as a means of communication. Child-centered play therapy gives us the opportunity to view the child’s world through their eyes.

The main issues I can help with are children/adolescents working with ADHD, conduct disorders, and interpersonal relationships.
I get it — dealing with stuff like ADHD, trouble controlling anger, or just feeling misunderstood is exhausting. Whether you’re having a tough time with friends, big changes at home or school, or navigating life with a different way of thinking, I’m here to help. I have a lot of experience working with teens who are neurodivergent or have intellectual disabilities, and I understand that everyone’s challenges are unique.
