A Safe, Supportive Place for Your Child to Heal
I work with children ages 3 to 10 and their families through creative, developmentally appropriate therapies like:
- Play Therapy – where children process emotions through play, the language of childhood.
- Sand Tray Therapy – helping kids express complex feelings symbolically and safely.
- Expressive Arts – using art, movement, and storytelling as healing tools.
These approaches gently guide children to understand their inner world, strengthen their emotional regulation, and build resilience. I also offer trauma-informed approaches grounded in my somatic and trauma-informed yoga training.
Who I Work With
I support:
- Children (3–10) navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, big emotions, or trauma
- Parents and families feeling overwhelmed or disconnected
