No matter if you are struggling to find a way to journey through your child's behavioral needs, worry and obsessive thoughts, or neurodivergent identity, I am here for you. Every child, adolescent, parent, and family deserves to be listened to, supported, and partnered with on challenges they may be facing. You will find my empathetic and warm energy will bring comfort, patience, and presence to our time together. Furthermore, I focus on nurturing bonds that extend beyond the therapy room, always considering ways to ensure your family has reliable support and a dedicated advocate.
My training as a child yoga instructor, as well as in AutPlay, is rooted in a deep commitment to inclusivity and creativity in treatment. I've discovered the incredible power of weaving mindfulness and playfulness into therapy sessions.
Through these frameworks, I implement therapy techniques that celebrate individuality, striving to create an environment where everyone feels seen and embraced for who they are. You have taken the brave first step to finding solutions for your family. I'm committed to joining you and your child and working together to process through whatever life may bring.
