Child and Adolescent Therapy
Using the power of play, creative-arts, and therapeutic relationship I assist children to process their stories, emotions, and development new skills to face their challenges. I work with children on a variety of issues, including attachment, anxiety, low self-esteem, abandonment, adoption, trauma, grief, loss, ADHD, ASD/autism, emotional & nervous system regulation. Children naturally express themselves through play and gives them a platform to express their inner world. Through play and expressive arts therapy, children can build new skills and inner resources in safe and empowering ways.
“Before a child speaks, it sings. Before they write, they paint. As soon as they stand, they dance. Art is the basis of human expression.” - Phylicia Rashad
Adult Therapy
Every individual is unique, and thus, their therapy journey is unique! I celebrate individuality and tailor my approach based on personal needs and goals. The expressive arts in psychotherapy further support personalization of therapeutic practice and bring voice to internal objects that do not speak. The arts are ancestral, authentic, non-judgmental, and natural. When given the opportunity, the arts express to us what we once kept locked inside. It is through this process, that art becomes a way to inner knowing, connection, meaning, and healing. I work with individuals as they seek change through exploring attachment issues, traumas, negative patterns, anxiety, depression, external pressures, and societal systems.

Reflective Consultation & Workshop
I offer consultation groups and workshops to organizations and professional groups including childcare workers, teachers, nurses, healthcare workers, and public health teams. My workshops are intended to process vicarious trauma and provide support with self-care. If you are interested in having a group or workshop at your workplace please reach out to me.
Family Therapy
We are biologically built for bonding and it is our innate desire to be loved and accepted by our family. Sometimes, family life does not feel smooth and understanding does not come easy. However, when a family is supported and on the same page…. children and adults will thrive. I assist families to explore differences and come to understandings. I offer parenting support, sibling support, and therapy to extended family members looking to improve dynamics and heal intergenerational wounds. I use a variety of approaches in my family sessions based on family needs and interests, including play, expressive arts, and creative-arts modalities.
"The need for connection and community and the desire to be a part of meaningful and responsive relationships is at the heart of human experience.” - Judith V. Jordan, Ph.D.
