Every therapist works a little differently. This gives you a sense of my approach and what the process looks like before deciding whether it feels right for your family.

I specialize in helping sensitive and neurodivergent children feel safe enough to be their full selves, while building the self-understanding, self-trust, and emotional resilience they need to grow. I also offer parenting support, both alongside child therapy and on its own, for parents who want help understanding their child, responding differently to difficult patterns, and feeling more confident in their relationship with them.
Child-centered play therapy is the foundation of my work with children. It’s a child-led, nondirective, and relational approach that meets children where they are and works with the ways they naturally express themselves, process feelings, and make sense of what’s happening.
The playroom offers children a safe space to explore their experiences, emotions, needs, fears, and strengths through their natural language of play and within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. Over time, this can help children feel safer inside themselves, more connected to their inner experience, and more able to move through hard feelings.
My playroom intentionally isn’t another place where adults explain, correct, or coach the child into change. The child usually chooses how to use the session and what to play. I don’t typically bring up the presenting concern, directly teach skills, or steer the child toward a particular activity.
Instead, I stay closely engaged and respond in ways that help the child feel understood, notice their feelings and choices, and trust their ability to work through what’s happening. When practical strategies are needed, I work with parents on ways to support their child outside the therapy room.
Therapy usually begins with a standing weekly appointment. Consistent attendance gives the process the continuity it needs to develop.
Parent involvement is an important part of child therapy, so I meet with caregivers regularly.
A parent or caregiver must remain onsite for the child's entire session.
My practice is private pay, and I don’t accept insurance.
Because appointments are scheduled in a standing time slot, your ongoing availability needs to match an opening I currently have.
Biweekly appointments are available only in limited circumstances and may not be appropriate when seeking active treatment for significant concerns.
