I am a Registered Play Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with children utilizing child-centered play therapy and with 35 years’ experience as a parenting educator, I provide parenting support and education so that parents can be active in creating lasting change in their child’s life. I view the therapy process as a collaborative partnership with parents as they navigate the challenges of understanding their child. I also offer adult counseling to provide the experience of expanding your parenting toolbox with approaches that support the changes you wish for you and your family.
I utilize play therapy as it encourages children to connect to their feelings, grow their self-control/frustration tolerance skills, release emotional distress, increase self-understanding, and move towards healing and resilience. I partner with parents to provide support. I’m trained in Child and Parent Relationship Therapy and Interpersonal Neurobiology
Parenting today brings with it joys and challenges, and the plethora of advice, resources, and tools is overwhelming and confusing. Getting insight into your child’s inner world and understanding their behavior can provide relief and long-lasting connection. Let’s work together identify areas of change you are seeking for you and your family.
