I believe that PLAY is for everyone and I love incorporating play therapy techniques into my sessions with clients of all ages. I specialize in children, adolescents and young adults who experience Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Family Conflicts/Divorce, and Loss and Grief. One of the most effective ways to work with children and teens is to have them "play" out their feelings instead of asking direct questions. I provide clients with extra personalized support between sessions without added cost.

My passion lies in working with adults, adolescents, and families. My experience has been working on a variety of issues including trauma, mood d/o, anxiety, self-exploration and understanding how our thinking affects our feelings and behavior. I enjoy assisting patients with identifying messages taken from life experiences that drive our choices and behavior in order to give each individual a better understanding of self. It is this understanding that brings awareness of habituated behavior patterns, effective communication skills and balance in our daily lives. Skills that are useful to patients outside of the therapeutic setting.

Is your young child struggling with big emotions? These can be tantrums that seem impossible to calm, anxiety separating from caregivers, or acting withdrawn and not like themselves?

What you feel doesn’t always align with what you know to be true. You can function well but still feel aware of something off, wrong or confusing. You may feel troubled or unfulfilled and unable to fully articulate why that is. Even those who know why they want to start therapy often find that there’s more they were searching for. I think it takes time to work through the layers and find the language that fits. I see therapy more as healing and adapting than it is eliminating something bad. Sometimes your ways of making it through stop working as well. I think our work together is finding a new way.

For those who've faced trauma or were left alone to grapple with complex emotions prematurely, the skills needed to cope with difficult experiences can feel out of reach. Anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem can feel like an endless spiral as you battle between a you that feels capable and you that is knocked off your feet by overwhelming emotions. While in the past you may have been alone in the face of emotional distress you do not have to be alone now. I aim to create a space where you feel seen and heard as you become more comfortable with your emotions, find healing, and move from surviving to thriving.
