Supervisee in Social Work
Pronouns: she/her
I see play as the language children use to express and process their experiences and big emotions. To help your child grow through play I create a safe space for them to explore their inner world and move toward healing.
Specialties:
I specialize in working with children ages 4-12 struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, and self-regulation as well as adjusting to new or difficult situations including separation and divorce, a change in school, sibling relationships, and social/peer issues. I also provide parent coaching and therapy.
Modalities:
I primarily work as a child-centered play therapist, with the additional perspective of relational, psychodynamic, expressive, attachment-based, and family systems approaches. My goal is to gently and compassionately help your child explore their inner world, develop coping skills, and work through trauma.
