Areas of Focus
I work with children ages 2+ and their caregivers. My areas of specialty include: anxiety and depression, behavioral issues, family conflict, foster care and adoption, managing life transitions, neurodiversity, parent/child relationships, school issues, self-esteem, and trauma.
Child-Centered Play Therapy
Play is the fundamental way children express themselves, learn, and process their experiences. In play therapy, I create an attentive and warm environment where children can explore their thoughts and feelings and make sense of the world.
In play therapy, children learn to identify and express their emotions, process stressors, develop coping strategies, improve problem-solving skills, build self-esteem, and improve social and communication skills.

Individual Psychotherapy
I believe that healing occurs through building meaningful, trusting relationships. I create a safe space for adolescents to explore their challenges and gain a deeper understanding of themselves as they learn coping skills to manage stressors.
In counseling, teens learn to use coping skills, process stressors, explore self-esteem and identity issues, set goals, and increase resilience to confidently navigate life’s transitions.
Family Therapy
I collaborate closely with caregivers to provide psychoeducation to help parents understand their child's unique needs. I assist caregivers in applying parenting strategies that promote positive behavior, emotional regulation, and strengthen the parent-child relationship.
During family therapy sessions, I work with youth and their family members to resolve conflicts and enhance communication skills to improve cohesion within the family unit.
