Therapist Overview
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist. I specialize in working with children ages 3-10, but also work with adolescents and adults. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is an evidenced-based treatment approach for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma such as sexual abuse, physical abuse and domestic violence. In addition to trauma, I have experience in working with children with anxiety, grief/loss, and family transitions/changes such as divorce. I specialize in providing play therapy in working with children to assist them in expressing feelings and working through problems. Play therapy works best when a parent, caregiver, or family member is actively involved in the treatment process.
