About
Does your child show signs of anxiety, aggression, defiance, low confidence, impulsivity? Are you frustrated that other people just don't seem to get your kid or understand how hard it all feels? Do you feel stuck in caregiving "shoulds" that seem to just leave you all feeling stuck in the same pattern of conflict and dysregulation? I'm here to help. I see myself as a curious and compassionate partner to children and their caregivers as we explore the needs under "problematic" behaviors. In playful and engaging ways, together we learn to meet these challenges with confidence and connection. I am deeply rooted in a person-centered, empowering approach and see all behavior as nervous-system based responses. I incorporate elements of Polyvagal Theory, and body-based regulation strategies into all of my work. I also utilize cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches both in play therapy and individual work with adults and caregivers. I am a mom of two wonderfully neurodiverse kids, and I get how hard and how beautiful parenting can be. Whether you are looking for a warm, fun and compassionate play therapist for your child or support for yourself, I would love the opportunity to see if I am a good fit for you and your family.
