About

Helping Kids Heal, Grow, and Shine

I’m passionate about creating a safe, welcoming space where children and families can grow, heal, and feel truly understood. My work is rooted in Child-Centered Play Therapy, and a deep belief in the power of connection, creativity, and emotional support. I love helping children express themselves through play, art, and storytelling, while building emotional strength and resilience along the way. I also enjoy working closely with parents and caregivers, offering support and insights to help families feel more connected and confident. In addition to therapy, I offer customized training and workshops for schools and organizations that support children and families. I focus on bringing child-centered, play-based approaches into everyday work with kids. Whether you're looking for staff training or ongoing support, I can tailor services to meet the unique needs of your team and the families you serve. If you're interested in talking more to see if we’re a good fit, you can schedule a free 15-minute consultation by clicking "Request Appointment." That's simply our first meeting where we’ll talk through goals and map out our work together. I look forward to connecting with you and your kiddo!
