I am deeply rooted in a person-centered, empowering approach and see all behavior as nervous-system based responses. I incorporate body-based regulation strategies, interpersonal neurobiology and Polyvagal Theory into all of my work. I love helping kids grow in their ability to be with their feelings (that sometimes take over!) while remaining connected to themselves and their caregivers.
I am fully credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and a Registered Play TherapistTM and am also a certified AutPlay Therapy Provider. I am a member of the Association for Play Therapy and the Louisiana Association for Play Therapy. I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Loyola University New Orleans in 2021, where I was also received the Regina Matthews Oehmig Award for Excellence in Counseling. Since graduating, I have engaged in additional training opportunities in AutPlay Therapy and Synergetic Play Therapy.
I am a mom of two wonderfully neurodivergent 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.
