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.
