I particularly enjoy working with children with autism, ADHD, and behavioral issues, utilizing play therapy in the process.

Have you seen you a change occur in your child or teen and are left in confusion? Are you concerned about your child’s behavior? I will work collaboratively with you and your child on solutions to the concerns. Sessions with me involve movement and play.
