I know the nervousness and fear of starting your child in therapy feels so big. That makes complete sense, but just imagine how amazing the relief will feel after the fear melts. I specialize in the neuroscience of Play Therapy to empower young people to become more aware, more intentional and more courageous as we unpack their struggles. I also give caregivers the resources, tools, and skills they need to be more effective and confident in their parenting. I am over the top passionate about helping kids with sensitive nervous systems or trauma go from a place of stress and survival to inspired and thriving! View 11 Photos I believe body's and minds that feel good, heal good. Therefore I always work from a trauma-informed, strength-based lens. I utilize Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Playing it out is such a powerful option for children and something I'm excited to offer them in a warm and all accepting space. Each session your child will have their space and time to play it out and do the deeper work with guidance from me sitting right beside them. It's going to feel safe, comforting, and fun, like your child is exactly where they need to be each time they come to a session. Parents are also included as an intricate part of a child's healing journey.
