Join me in the playroom!
Many of the kids I work with are navigating common stressors such as anxiety, school challenges, social struggles, family transitions, or trauma. I draw from a decade of clinical experience and from training in Synergetic Play Therapy to create a healing and therapeutic playroom environment.
Through our work together, I help children build self-regulation skills, process overwhelming emotions, and strengthen their sense of safety and connection. My goal is to create a supportive space where children—and their families—can grow, heal, and thrive.
I take a collaborative approach with parents and caregivers, recognizing their essential role in the healing process and working together with them to support lasting change for the whole family.
Synergetic Play Therapy
Synergetic Play Therapy is a research-informed approach that integrates neuroscience with the healing power of play. For more information, see the SPT website here: https://synergeticplaytherapy.com/.
