The environment we’re in and the choices we make greatly impact who we become as people. Because of this, I specialize in working with kids and families to help them create a happy, healthy, safe environment where kids can express themselves and make positive choices.

Kids often don’t know how to notice, label, and deal with emotions. My office is a space for kids to learn about their emotions, what they mean, and what to do with them. Oftentimes, kids and teens don’t have the language to describe or talk about what is going on with them, what they are feeling, or why they are behaving certain ways. That’s why I use many different therapeutic approaches in my office, such as Child-Centered Play Therapy, art, books, and more, to help them express themselves and work through their experiences in more creative ways.

I specialize in working with kids and teens who have experienced the foster system, adoption, trauma, sexual assault, grief, and loss.
