Ages 2-10

Young children often express themselves through play long before they can find the words for big feelings. In child therapy, I use play-based techniques and Theraplay-informed approaches to help kids feel safe.

Common Areas of Support

• Managing anxiety and overwhelming emotions

• Building confidence and self-esteem

• Improving communication and emotional expression

• Supporting children through trauma, loss or family changes

The teen years bring unique challenges. My approach helps teens feel respected and empowered to express themselves, while building tools to cope with anxiety, life transitions or trauma.

I help teens with

• Anxiety, school stress, peer challenges

• Self-discovery, confidence

• Navigating family dynamics and relationship struggles

Emerging adulthood brings change, uncertainty, and opportunity for growth. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who you are - therapy provides a space to slow down, process your experiences, and build a life that aligns with your values.

Common Focus Areas

• Life transitions - graduation, career changes, moves

• Relationship & family challenges

• Anxiety, trauma, self-doubt

• Identity development, boundaries & trust

Secure relationships are the foundation for emotional well-being. I work with parents and caregivers to strengthen attachment, improve communication, and support children’s emotional growth.

Family-focused support includes

• Parent consultation and feedback

• Theraplay-informed interventions to build connection

• Tools for supporting your child struggling with anxiety or other emotional needs

• Strengthening family bonds

Before beginning therapy, I offer comprehensive evaluations to better understand the client’s needs and strengths. I use developmentally appropriate, evidence-based tools - including the Marschak Interaction Method (MIM) - to assess relational patterns, emotional regulation, and areas for support. These evaluations help guide treatment planning and ensure therapy is personalized, effective and rooted in research.

Assessments may include

• Observations of parent-child interactions (MIM)

• Screening for anxiety, trauma, depression and behavioral patterns

• Collaborative feedback and recommendations for next steps

$40 for every 15 minutes

I believe in working as a team to support each client’s growth. I offer consultation services for parents, teachers, physicians, and other professionals involved in your child’s care.

Brief consultations, up to 15 minutes, are complementary and can help with general questions or quick check-ins.

Whether you need help coordinating with a school, discussing treatment recommendations with a physician, or brainstorming next steps, I’m here to help.Item description
