I will meet your child and family where they are at and personalize treatment plans based on their needs.
Is your child or teen struggling and not able to reach their full potential? Are you concerned and confused at this time as a parent and are trying to reach out for help? ADHD, behavioral issues, and anxiety are some of many issues that your child may be struggling to cope with right now and keeping them from enjoying their lives to the fullest. You as a parent may also be feeling like it is difficult at this time to bond with your child and maintain a healthy relationship.

I work (most frequently) with neurodivergent children and adolescents.
I love working with clients (2-18) who have ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorders, and other forms of neurodivergence. I use play therapy to connect with them and help them learn about their brains, their emotions, and new, more comfortable ways of expressing themselves and meeting their needs. I also enjoy connecting with parents who feel alone in the unique challenges that come with parenting these children. It can be hard to feel like the challenges are respected and the positives appreciated.
