About me
I am a therapist who is dedicated to helping children cope with anxiety, school adjustments, peer relationships, emotional regulation, and grief.
I focus on Early Childhood Development, Adoption and Adoptee Experiences, and Parent Support. Children are not "mini-adults," no matter how much they may try to convince us! They are constantly changing, growing, and evolving—rapidly developing new skills every single day. Just think about it: they can triple in size and abilities within a year! What makes this journey even more challenging is that children primarily learn, grow, and communicate through play. This means it can be difficult to fully understand how to help them navigate life's many surprises. And when significant life experiences like adoption, divorce, or a pandemic
I blend the language of children—through play—with the wisdom of parents to support your child’s healing, growth, and communication. I believe that at the heart of every child’s development is the need for meaningful relationships that encourage them to explore and create. With over 25+ years as a special education teacher in Early Start, I bring a unique perspective and specialized insight into nurturing and supporting social-emotional development.
Do you feel isolated or overwhelmed by the challenges of parenting? Are you concerned about your child's behavior or struggling with feelings of sadness? Whether you need support through parent therapy, child therapy, or family therapy, I'm here to help. You are your child’s perfect parent, and I’m committed to supporting you throughout your journey.
