About

In my work with young children, I use child-centered play therapy to help kids process emotions and experiences in a developmentally appropriate way. I’m currently supervised by a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and enjoy incorporating pretend play, sand tray, and art into sessions to make therapy hands-on and engaging. With older children, teens, and families, I blend these expressive approaches with traditional talk therapy strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to help clients develop insight, coping tools, and to feel confident handling stressors.

Having lived overseas for several years, I bring cultural sensitivity and curiosity to every session. Additionally, many of the families I work with have faced trauma or grief, and it’s an honor to work with them
