Play Therapy

​I am an experienced play therapist who attunes to each child and what they express through their play and interactions with me.  Play therapy offers children a way to non-verbally express their inner world and to be seen and validated through the process. Play allows access to part of ourselves that words don't reach and, in many cases, talking alone isn't enough. Play signals safety to the nervous system, creates connection, and opens us up to growth. Trust is built, not through explanation, but through experience. And that moves us away from defense and into relationship - and that is healing. 

I specialize in working with children in elementary school, but see preschool age children as well.

Parent Counseling

I provide parent counseling to address your questions, concerns or challenges.  As a parent, your behavior is the only one you have control over and making changes on your end makes a big difference in the dynamic and relationship between you and your child. Personal support is key to making a difference in your family.  I support clients so that they are better able to be the people they'd like to be in their family.  I will provide you with the understanding and tools that will improve your relationships and help your family thrive. My foundation is connection parenting and I use an attachment-based, emotion-focused approach.
