When we or a loved one face challenges, sadness, anger, addiction, or anxiety, counseling helps us explore our beliefs and feelings enabling healing and making change possible. I work with diverse communities, adults, and children, with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences. One method that helps is Sandplay Therapy. Using miniatures and a sand tray, offers a deeply personal way to explore one's inner world, akin to 'waking dreams.' It facilitates profound self-discovery and healing for all ages. Children express themselves through play, and both adolescents and adults gain significant insights and transformation.

Do you sometimes worry about your child? Perhaps you’ve noticed that they seem sad or angry. Or they may not be getting along well with others. Perhaps they are being disruptive. Many parents feel this way. I use play therapy to understand the root cause of each child’s individual symptoms and give children the emotional support they need to understand and validate their feelings. I help them develop coping skills that can make them happier and can help them build a happier, deeper bond with you.

Is your child worrying all the time? Avoiding activities? Complaining about pains and aches? I can help I am here for your child. It is normal for a child to worry at times, however when his/her worrying or anxiety becomes excessive (more days than not) and the child has difficulty stopping his/her worries, it may be important to get help. Untreated anxiety does not get better alone but tends to get worse over time. I specialize in helping young people learn to manage and overcome anxiety. I focus on providing children and their parents with useful, practical strategies to address anxiety.
