I am deeply rooted in a person-centered, empowering approach. I believe all behaviors, even the biggest and most confusing ones, are our body's ways of protecting us. I work to help kids and caregivers better understand the challenges they face, so they can be more equipped to be with those challenges in safer and more regulated ways. I incorporate elements of Polyvagal Theory and body-based regulation strategies into all of my work. I also utilize cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches both in play therapy and individual work with adults and caregivers.

I am a mom of two wonderfully neurodiverse kids, and I get how hard and how beautiful parenting can be. Whether you are looking for a warm, fun and compassionate play therapist for your child or support for yourself, I would love the opportunity to see if I am a good fit for you and your family.
