Parenting can feel overwhelming when your child is struggling with big emotions, behavior, transitions, trauma, or developmental differences. You want to support them but may be unsure what they need or how to help. Perhaps your child has ADHD or is autistic, and you’re seeking a neurodiversity-affirming therapist who understands their unique needs. Or maybe you want support managing your own emotions and moving away from fear-based responses toward connection-based parenting. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I can help.

I specialize in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for children ages 2–12, using a non-directive, neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed approach that honors each child’s developmental needs. I also support caregivers with self-regulation and connection-based parenting strategies grounded in CCPT principles.

You deserve support that meets you and your child where you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, with a focus on strengthening connection and creating meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re seeking therapy for your child or guidance as a caregiver, I’d be honored to support your family’s next steps.
