Children
Play therapy is my specialty. Toys, sand and art give younger kids a way to communicate through play.
Who I work with
Play therapy is my specialty. Everyone is welcome.
I work with children, tweens, adolescents, parents, families and adults.
Tweens
A mix of play, creative work and conversation, adjusted as kids grow.
Adolescents
Teens can use sandtray, expressive arts or talk therapy, whichever feels most comfortable.
Parents
Support for parents, and ways to be part of your child's therapy. Approaches I'm trained in, like Theraplay, PCIT and AUTPlay, involve parents directly.
Families
Working with more than one family member when that's the right fit.
Adults
Play therapy is my main specialty, and I also see adults, with traditional talk therapy as well as creative options like sandtray and expressive arts.
Still deciding?
Not sure if I'm the right fit?
That's what a consultation is for. Reach out with a few basic details, and we can talk through what's going on and whether working together makes sense.
