About Me!
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, life transitions, and relationship challenges through evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and play therapy.
I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood.
Services Offered
Play Therapy
Children often communicate their thoughts and emotions through play long before they have the words to explain them. Play therapy provides a safe, supportive space where children can process big feelings, build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and work through challenges in a way that feels natural to them. Through carefully selected toys, creative activities, and a trusting therapeutic relationship, children can develop emotional regulation, improve behavior, reduce anxiety, and strengthen their relationships both at home and at school.
Adolescent Counseling
The teenage years can be overwhelming, with increasing pressures from school, friendships, family, identity, and the future. Adolescent counseling provides a supportive, judgment-free space where teens can openly explore their thoughts and emotions, build healthy coping skills, and gain confidence in navigating life's challenges. Together, we'll work to reduce anxiety, strengthen emotional resilience, improve relationships, and help your teen feel more equipped to thrive both now and in the future.
Individual Counseling
Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Individual counseling offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process life's challenges, gain insight, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're managing anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to help you build resilience, find balance, and create a life that aligns with your values and goals.
What is Play Therapy?
Play is a child's natural language, making play therapy one of the most effective ways to help children express thoughts and emotions they may not yet have the words to communicate. Through play, children can safely explore difficult experiences, process overwhelming feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and practice new ways of solving problems in an engaging way. Play therapy also strengthens emotional regulation, builds self-confidence, improves social skills, and fosters resilience. By meeting children at their developmental level, play therapy creates meaningful opportunities for healing and growth while helping caregivers better understand and support their child's emotional needs.
