Bio
I have always loved working with children and am continually inspired by their curiosity, imagination, and unique ways of experiencing the world. Every child has an incredible capacity for growth, and with the right support, they can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their emotions, and their relationships with others.
Play is one of the most meaningful ways children communicate, process their experiences, and make sense of the world around them. Through play therapy, I enjoy meeting children where they are, entering their world with curiosity, and creating a safe, supportive space where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and child-centered, with a focus on helping children navigate big emotions, build confidence, and develop a stronger sense of self.
Supporting a child also means supporting the family around them. I deeply value the opportunity to work alongside parents to better understand their child’s emotions and behaviors, recognize the needs beneath the surface, and discover new ways to connect. Some of the most meaningful moments in this work happen when parents begin to see their child through a new lens and families find fresh ways to understand, communicate, and support one another.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing tennis and pickleball, watching movies at the theater, and baking banana bread.
