My desire and passion for helping others has been evident throughout my life span and this passion includes helping children grow and thrive. I believe people are unique, creative, capable, and responsible and I love having the opportunity to see transformation and change and be a part of it!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor through the State of NY and I am a Registered Play Therapist through the Association for Play Therapy. I hold a Child Centered Play Therapy Certificate through the National Institute of Relationship Enhancement (NIRE) and I am a Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor through the AACC.
I work with children ages 3-10 who may be experiencing social, emotional, behavioral, or relational disorders. The initial pre-screening process will be a time to discuss the symptoms and desired goals for treatment to assess if this approach is the best fit for your child and family. Please note, parent or caregiver involvement is encouraged.
As a Play Therapist, my ability to meet each child where they are is where growth and change can take place. Children desire to be seen, heard, understood, and cared for and through this work, I have the privilege of doing just that. My favorite aspect in working with children is to provide a safe and supportive environment where the kiddos can express themselves, explore their feelings, and develop strategies to cope with behavioral and emotional struggles.
Please book intro call (approx 30 minutes) to ensure this approach is a good fit for you and your family. Telehealth times are available.
