About My Clients

If your child is struggling with big feelings, having trouble with peers, or even managing day to day, I can help. I can help children with many things such as processing trauma, regulating emotions, and gaining positive coping skills. My passion is helping helping children be the best they can be! I enjoy meeting children on their level by communicating through their language. I utilize expressive arts and play therapy for when words are not enough. *I specialize in children ages 3 - 12.*

My Background and Approach

I strive to help both children and their families face the many challenges of life. Even though your child may be the "client" I understand that their family plays a large role in the child's life. With my experience, I have been able to gather resources and tricks that will not only help the child learn positive self-expression, but also teach the caregivers how they can help too. Expressive Arts and Play Therapy are great tools for children as they can have difficulty with expressing themselves with words. Using these tools helps me to understand their language and be the translator for their struggles. I am also trained in SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment) which utilizes sensory tools to help the child understand their zones of regulation while processing their trauma. With my extensive knowledge, I am able to use various approaches to help you meet your goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Every person is unique and that means therapy should be too. I am all about having fun and sneaking in those teaching moments! I get down on the kids level and am pretty "hip with the lingo" as I often have the same childish heart and interests as they do. I have created an engaging virtual space that will help clients feel comfortable during their sessions. It includes resources for everyone!
