Helping kids and teens build emotional awareness, regulation, and confidence

Children and teens often express big feelings through behavior, play, or withdrawal rather than words. I specialize in working with kids and teens to help them better understand their emotions, build coping skills, and feel more confident navigating daily life.

I use play-based and developmentally appropriate approaches to create a safe, supportive environment where kids can express themselves. My work is informed by play therapy, Theraplay™, and Whole Brain Child principles, helping children integrate emotions and logic as they learn new ways to respond to challenges.

I support children and teens with:

• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm

• ADHD and executive functioning challenges

• Autism and giftedness

• Emotional regulation and social skills

• School-related stress and transitions

I also collaborate closely with parents, offering guidance and insight so families feel supported both in and outside of sessions.
