“Enter into children’s play and you will find the place where their minds, hearts, and souls meet.”

Child Therapy
-
Play-Based
Kids process their emotions through the language of play. Child-centered play therapy provides a safe, supportive environment where your child can freely express themselves, integrate their experiences, and practice regulation, building the connection and trust they need to become happier and more confident little humans.
-
Attachment-Focused
Fostering secure attachments between children and caregivers is the foundation of our work together. Attachment-focused therapy nurtures your child’s developing brain and nervous system, helping build the sense of safety and connection they need to thrive.
-
Trauma-Informed
When kids have a difficult past, there may be lingering effects that can impact their behavior and emotions. I create a supportive environment that acknowledges that these adverse experiences affect the developing brain. As we work together to process and integrate traumatic experiences, children will feel validated, empowered, and better equipped to cope with life's challenges.

Success at School
As a Licensed School Counselor, I’ve spent many years in elementary schools, so I have a deep understanding of the place where children spend a huge chunk of their time! I’m skilled at advocating for children’s needs and working collaboratively with teachers and schools to help your child get the support they need.
Therapy for Teens & Tweens
Individualized Support
For some young people, the opportunity to talk through their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a skilled therapist might be just what they need to process their life experiences. For others, traditional talk therapy may be a barrier to true communication. I’ll meet your child where they’re at, and can offer opportunities for creative expression through art, music, writing, and sandplay.
