Have things been tough at home with your child/teen? Big behaviors and emotions that seem to have come out of nowhere? The frustration is real and I'm here to help! I am a non-directive Child-Centered Play Therapist with over 200 hours of training in the specialty. I use traditional and digital play therapy to meet your child's needs. I have specific expertise with kids on the neurodiverse spectrum (2e, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD) and experience with complex trauma and PTSD. Play Therapy is great for all kids!

As a play therapist, I use the child's natural language of play to understand their internal challenges and help them gain a greater understanding of themselves. Through the play, I support your child in finding new ways to cope, build trust and confidence within themselves, and help parents and kids feel closer together.

The first session would be an intake where we get to know each other, set some goals, and learn more about what brings you to therapy and my therapy style. After that your child will enter the play therapy space where we begin by building a relationship. My goal after the first session is that your child wants to come back to the play room the next week.
