Big feelings can be confusing for kids — and overwhelming for caregivers.

I create a warm, playful space where your child can express themselves, build skills, and feel supported as they grow. Serving children ages 6-12.

Big Feelings & Emotional Regulation

I help kids name and tame the storms of anger, sadness, and frustration. We work on moving from "meltdowns" to manageable moments.
Anxiety & Worries

I support children who struggle with separation, school stress, or constant "what-ifs." We build a toolbox of courage to help them face their fears.
Self-Esteem & Confidence

I help kids quiet their inner critic, try new things without fear of failure, and discover that they are good enough just as they are.
ADHD & Focus Challenges

Your child isn't "bad"—they just need different support. I use and teach neuro-affirming strategies for impulse control, focus, and emotional intensity.
Social Skills & Friendships

I build skills for navigating the playground politics. We work on reading social cues, handling conflict, and making connections that feel good.
School Challenges

We turn "I can't do it" into "I'll give it a try." I support kids struggling with perfectionism, academic anxiety, and the feeling of falling behind.

What   to  Expect

1. Reach Out: Fill out the contact form or book a free consultation via the client portal.
2. The Caregiver Intake: Before I meet your child, I meet with you. This 55-minute caregiver session allows us to discuss history, concerns, and goals openly without little ears listening.
3. The Child Intake: Your child’s first session is all about building trust. We play, chat, and keep it low-pressure so they feel safe coming back.
4. The Rhythm: We establish a weekly time for your child’s 55-minute sessions, with designated time at the beginning or end of the session to check in with caregivers to track progress.
Focused, Engaging, & Effective My sessions are 55 minutes via Zoom. 20 minutes are set aside for a caregiver checkin, and the remaining 35 minutes is thoughtfully tailored to your child.
- No "Zoom Fatigue": We end on a high note while your child is still engaged and having fun.
- Play-Based: We use games, art, storytelling, and movement. It doesn't feel like "work"—it feels like play with a purpose.
- Developmentally Attuned: This duration prevents burnout and keeps therapy a positive space they look forward to entering.
Caregiver Involvement You are the most important person in your child's life. Caregiver Coaching is incorporated into every session to help you translate what we do in therapy into your daily home life.
I believe therapy should be a place where kids feel seen, safe, and celebrated—not "fixed."
For Your Child: A Safe Space to Grow
- Play as Language: Kids don't always have the words, so we use play. Whether it's drawing, building, or games, we process big feelings in a way that feels natural to them.
- Trauma-Informed & Neuro-Affirming: I prioritize safety and choice. We move at your child's pace, honoring their unique wiring and needs.
- Skill Building: We learn real tools for mindfulness and regulation, but we do it in a way that is simple, visual, and sticky.
For You (The Caregiver): A Partner in the Process
- Collaboration: You aren't left in the dark. We work together to understand the "why" behind behaviors.
- Attachment-Focused: We look at the big picture of your family system to see how we can strengthen connections and reduce stress at home.
