Supporting Children Through Play
Alongside my work with adults and couples, I am trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy and offer therapy for children ages 3–10. Play is a child’s natural language, and through the safety of the playroom, children are able to express feelings, work through challenges, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. In this non-directive, supportive approach, I provide a space where children can feel fully accepted and understood, allowing them to strengthen emotional regulation, self-esteem, and resilience. Play therapy can be especially helpful for children coping with anxiety, family transitions, grief, trauma, or difficulties in relationships.

Why Choose a Registered Play Therapist™?
Many therapists use toys, games, or art to help children feel comfortable. A Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™) has gone beyond graduate school to complete hundreds of hours of specialized training, supervised clinical experience, and ongoing education specifically in Play Therapy.
That means play isn't just something used during the session—it's the therapy itself. An RPT is trained to understand the meaning behind a child's play and intentionally use it to help children process emotions, work through difficult experiences, strengthen relationships, and build resilience.
When your child is struggling, specialized training matters.
Healing at its core.
Individual Therapy
As a therapist trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), I specialize in working with individuals who carry the weight of complex trauma, family of origin pain, and attachment wounds. I believe that beneath suffering lies a natural capacity for healing and resilience, and together we can safely explore the places that feel stuck, overwhelming, or disconnected. My approach is warm, collaborative, and experiential, helping you process difficult emotions in real time while building a stronger sense of safety, connection, and self-compassion. Whether you’re navigating patterns rooted in early relationships or longing to feel more secure and whole, therapy with me offers a space to gently uncover, heal, and grow.
Restoring connection in relationships
In addition to my work with individuals, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and work with couples who are feeling stuck in painful cycles of disconnection, conflict, or distance. Many of the struggles couples face are rooted in the same attachment needs and protective patterns that shape our individual lives. EFT provides a safe and supportive framework to help partners slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin to turn toward one another with openness and care. Together, we work to heal old wounds, repair ruptures, and strengthen the emotional bond, creating space for deeper trust, intimacy, and connection.
You at your best.
Sand Tray Therapy
Sand Tray Therapy offers a creative, expressive way for children and adults to explore emotions, relationships, and experiences that can be difficult to put into words. Through the use of sand and miniatures, clients can express their inner worlds while being gently supported and witnessed by their therapist. For children, sand tray naturally complements child-centered play therapy; for adults, it can offer a meaningful way to process trauma and experiences beyond words. Together we make space for understanding and healing to unfold at the client’s own pace.
