Maybe your child can’t sleep at night, because they are worried about divorce, making or losing friends, or being good at their favorite hobby. Maybe they have intense feelings of anxiety or dread that they are not truly loved for who they are, or they worry they are a bad person inside. Perhaps you are worried that despite all your efforts, your children are struggling and you can’t figure out how to reach them. Meanwhile, you all desire deeper connection, love and belonging in your relationships and your family.

I have experience working with children and teens with high anxiety, loss, fear(s), extreme anger, see and/or hear things, depression, have a need for control or perfection, ptsd and trauma.
I am lucky to be doing what I do. I get to shed light and help people get unstuck so to reveal their authentic selves. For 12 years, my main focus was on helping children as young as 3 years old and parents. I am now open to working with all ages. I have an eclectic approach which includes client-centered, experiential and existential therapy. I allow the person to go at their pace so to address things when ready and with encouragement when needed. I help gain perspective, have accountability, learn about feelings and coping skills, increase self confidence and self esteem and process trauma.

Is your child struggling to control their emotions or reactions? Has their behavior changed and you’re not sure why? Maybe their grades have dropped; all of the sudden you’re getting calls from the school; they may have withdrawn into themselves, or begin lashing out at others. While children and teens are incredibly resilient, even under the best of circumstances, they may need support from someone outside of the family in order to recover from a major change, or unlock their full potential & thrive. That is where therapy comes in, and I would love to be the one to help.

Research shows play therapy can help children learn: to respect themselves and others, identify their feelings and that their feelings are acceptable, self-control, to assume responsibility for self, to be creative and resourceful in confronting problems, self-direction, self-acceptance, and to make responsible choices.
Are you worried that your preschooler's abrupt mood swings will be a problem when she enters kindergarten? Is your third grader easily frustrated, teary and self-deprecating over an inability to get things right? Are you discouraged because of your fourth grader's consistently angry and disrespectful behavior? Raising a child with difficult behaviors can be exhausting. . . As a play therapist and parent resource, I help parents have more harmonious and enjoyable relationships with their children.

It's not easy to seek help for your child. I've been there. I've been a psychologist for 28 years, but I've been a parent for 24, and counting. As a child and family psychologist, I help young families develop skills and routines to support healthy relationships for years to come. Play therapy allows children to integrate difficult experiences, and move past the stuck points in which they (and their parents) often find themselves. And it even works to do it virtually!

My approach is direct, supportive and caring.

The path through these difficulties includes facing them with humor, gentleness and
bravery. The fruition of this exploration is a greater awareness of self and an appreciation of others.
