Mom, Dad or guardian: Have you been struggling to find great help for your young child or teen? Is your 4 year old struggling at school, not getting along with others or having trouble managing emotions? Is your middle school girl shutting down, or your teenage boy acting out? You have come to the right place! I can help your family regulate back to "normal". I provide both individual and group therapy which target these issues at the source. I provide a safe, modern and fun space for children and teens to heal & play. Parents who I have worked with have felt the change in their lives, starting with their child.
I have worked with children and teens for many years in both school and hospital settings. In individual therapy I provide a relatable, safe and comfortable space for all ages. I provide collaboration with families, doctors and schools as needed, included in my fee. In my groups I provide curriculum and structure for the family to follow along with as well.
Parents describe me as knowledgeable, accepting, and welcoming. Clients describe me as "cool", which is my greatest compliment yet! What they really feel is that I am relatable. My playroom (therapy room) is described as modern & clean. If any of this sounds appealing to you, please reach out. I know you've landed in the right place for you and your family!

I often use play therapy as my main form of treatment, especially for those younger than 10-12 years old. What this looks like in the therapy room is the child and myself playing together, exploring emotions and expressing feelings in a safe manner! When children are older, I use a lot of CBT work.
