My practice is grounded in child-centered play therapy and evidence-based approaches that help children process big emotions, build resilience, and strengthen their emotional well-being. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe, seen, and accepted—free to explore their inner world through play at their own pace and in their own way, without pressure or judgment.

​

I have experience working with children who have experienced complex trauma, including exposure to intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, and other early adverse experiences. As a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW-PIP) and a clinician currently working toward my Registered Play Therapist (RPT) certification, I understand how trauma can impact a child’s sense of safety, their ability to regulate emotions, and how they relate to others. My approach is trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and grounded in the belief that healing begins in safe, consistent, and trusting relationships.

​

I also work closely with caregivers, offering tools, insights, and collaborative support to help children continue growing beyond the playroom. I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in childcare facilities, which has deepened my understanding of the vital role supportive, attuned caregivers play in a child’s emotional development and healing. Whether a child is navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or simply big life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside them with care, consistency, and compassion.
