Are you searching for a therapist who truly listens and values your unique journey? Do you or your child need a safe, supportive space to explore emotions and work through challenges like anxiety, depression, or trauma? Imagine a therapeutic experience that feels empowering and collaborative, where you or your child can express yourselves freely—whether through play, art, or open conversation. Together, we can create a path to healing and meaningful change. I provide personalized, compassionate therapy for children, teens, and women. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I focus on helping clients understand how past trauma affects current relationships, how trauma and anxiety are connected, and how past experiences shape current motivations. As more people experience increasing feelings of loneliness, it's essential to explore the deep connections between past trauma, relationships, and emotional well-being. My relational approach is built on the belief that you or your child are the expert of your/their own experience. Together, we’ll set goals and work collaboratively to find the best path forward, respecting your unique needs and experiences. After the initial intake and goal-setting session, I follow my clients' lead, offering the freedom to express themselves in ways that feel most natural. Whether through play, art, games, or conversation, I create a safe and flexible environment for clients to explore emotions and develop strategies for positive change. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and play therapy to offer a well-rounded, evidence-based approach to support healing and growth. I connect most deeply with children and women, offering a calm, gentle presence that fosters a sense of safety and trust. In my practice, children can process emotions through play, teens can navigate the complexities of adolescence, and women can explore life’s transitions with confidence and clarity. If you or your child are seeking a therapist who offers warmth, understanding, and a client-centered approach, I’m here to help. Contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation today.
