Child Therapists in West Babylon, NY
I am currently in pursuit of becoming a Registered Play Therapy for children aged 3-17 years old.
You're entering a space where you can be unapologetically you! That means you're free to laugh, cry, scream, and vent. I will be with you through each stage of emotion and I am going to challenge you to be in that moment, to feel, and to understand your emotions. I believe that healing begins when a client shows their authentic sense without worrying about being judged for what they are thinking or feeling. I believe that we are all capable of becoming the best version of ourselves even through our trials and tribulations. With the right attitude, motivation, and approach, growth and change will come.

Previously, I worked with children/adults with Autism and intellectual disabilities and their families.
After starting my own family I became passionate about supporting sensitive, people-pleasing women who are trying to maintain a healthy work/life balance and still leave room for self-care and boundary management. My expertise lies in helping women debunk harmful messages from society that keep us trapped in perfectionism and comparison. The focus of my work with clients centers around exploring and setting goals, assertive communication training and self-esteem building. I’m on a mission to help my clients feel empowered and connected to their authentic selves.

I have developed a passion for assisting grieving families from children to adults.
Grief is defined as a normal response to loss. However, the grieving experience can feel anything but “normal.” Grief can be felt from the death of a loved one to transitional life experiences such as the ending of a relationship or changes in health. Oftentimes, feelings of anxiety can accompany grief. Grief along with anxiety, can feel like you’ve lost control. My expertise in grief counseling can help you better understand your thoughts and feelings and develop coping skills. I am here to create a safe and supportive place for you to tell your story.
