My practice is grounded in child-centered play therapy and evidence-based approaches that help children process big emotions, build resilience, and strengthen their emotional well-being. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe, seen, and accepted—free to explore their inner world through play at their own pace and in their own way, without pressure or judgment.

​ I understand how trauma can impact a child’s sense of safety, their ability to regulate emotions, and how they relate to others. My approach is trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and developmentally appropriate, and grounded in the belief that healing begins in safe, consistent, and trusting relationships. Whether your child, adolescent, or teen is navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or simply big life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside them with care, consistency, and compassion.
