Great to meet you!

Hello Friends! I have been a Social Worker for 17 yrs working in various fields including child welfare, substance abuse, and the last 11 yrs as a community mental health providers in elementary schools providing individual and group therapy. I'm passionate about play therapy and creating a calm/safe atmosphere for children to feel heard and validated while teaching them valuable social emotional skills along the way.

I primarily help with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment Disorder and other Trauma Related Disorders, and I am trained to work with children experiencing cognitive/learning disabilities and other neurodevelopmental concerns. I am only offering virtual therapy services at this time with the hope to expand into in-person services in the future.

I would love to assist you in meeting your child's needs! I am offering a free consultation to meet you and your child in order to get to know you and how best to support you and your child. Please reach out so we can get started today!

My approach to therapy

I primarily use play therapy while incorporating cognitive and mindfulness based interventions. I am Certified in Mind-Body Medicine-Signature Track through the National Center for Mind-Body Medicine and also completed training in EMDR through the EMDR Institute. I love to incorporate fun and interactive play in each session!

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will work together to identify areas of concern, your expectations and needs from therapy, and how I can best help you meet those needs. As you learn and grow, you will experience and reduction in symptoms and feel empowered to make the best choices for your life.
