I am a professional counselor and play therapist dedicated to helping children, teens and their families navigate difficult challenges. I value diversity & choice and deeply respect your courage to seek support. My work builds on the importance of recognizing choices in life and developing acceptance for things that cannot be changed. My passion for creating a safe space and trusting relationship provides freedom to explore, heal and grow.
I have over 20 years’ experience working in residential, school and community settings with children and supporting their caregivers. My areas of focus are trauma, abuse/neglect, grief, adjustment to change (e.g. family separation, moving), self-acceptance, anxiety, depression, anger, behavior problems, social anxiety and peer relationship difficulties.
Play therapy is fundamental for children because play is their language used to understand the world. Creative expression allows all ages to tap into the healing power within their body and brain. My person-centered approach includes Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT, EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness and Sand Tray Therapy.
