** As of May 2025, I currently do not have any other afterschool openings and am not accepting new kiddo patients at this time **
I have gained a wide range of experience working with children who come from a variety of backgrounds and treating diverse diagnoses. I have worked with children in many different settings for over 20 years. From being a preschool teacher to being a clinician (and a mom), I understand that choosing someone to work with your child can be a difficult and emotional choice.
I will be able to incorporate a number of unique and depth-oriented interventions to help your child open up and feel comfortable. I also like to have fun, play cards, teach kiddos how to play chess, and of course, play (feeling) Uno. I work with children from a variety of backgrounds and diagnoses, including children who have endured trauma, divorce, come from strained family relationships, children with behavioral or emotional difficulties, or children on the spectrum. Specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma and loss, stress and coping with change, parent/child conflict, and ADD/ADHD.
I also work from a family perspective, bringing parents into sessions and working hard to repair the lines of communication to get the family back on the right track. When parents join us for a session, we will all sit together and play a round of feeling bingo or question Jenga. Depending on the age of your child, caregivers may be seen more regularly in order to work together and understand the child as a whole team.
