Nurturing Emotional Growth Through Play

Through child-led play, I help kids express big feelings, build coping skills, and feel seen, heard, and understood. I also offer counseling for teens and adults who want a steady, supportive place to work through stress, anxiety, or life transitions.

Child-Centered Play Therapy: A Safe Space to Grow

Play allows children to naturally process their world. Here, your child leads the way while I offer supportive presence and guidance, helping them navigate deep emotions at their own pace. To ensure lasting success, I partner with you through consistent check-ins to bridge their growth between our sessions and home.

Compassionate Support for the Journey Ahead

Navigating life’s ups and downs can feel heavy, but you don’t have to do it alone. We’ll work together using practical tools from DBT and CBT to help you untangle difficult thoughts and find a more peaceful rhythm in your daily life. My goal is to be a warm, steady presence while you discover new ways to care for yourself and your relationships.
