I am so glad you are here

Picture
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children and families. Throughout my years of providing play therapy directly to children, I noticed something big - the deepest impacts to children's behaviors and overall well-being are made by way of their parents and caregivers. I absolutely love partnering with parents to find solutions for their biggest struggles.

As a parent myself, I have the honor of practicing peaceful parenting with my own children, and I will be the first to admit that I am challenged on a daily basis. While parenting is greatly humbling, I also see it as a place to experience profound growth.  


​I come to my work with parents from a place of empathy, compassion, and above all - absolute imperfection. 

My approach is rooted in mindfulness, playfulness, and compassion. I will be the first to admit my mistakes and will encourage you to be provide yourself with loads of compassion.
