My Approach
My approach is holistic and client-centered, with a strong focus on building trust and creating a space where kids feel safe to be themselves. I use play therapy and child-led techniques to help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. Through that process, I move kids toward exploring their thoughts and feelings, helping them build awareness and understanding of what’s going on inside. I also utilize cognitive strategies; not just to change thoughts, but to help kids really understand them. My goal is always to support emotional growth in a way that feels both engaging and empowering.
Areas of Expertise
I work with children and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, emotional and behavioral challenges, and big life changes. I have experience supporting kids through transitions in their home lives, helping them make sense of complex emotions and adjust to new routines or relationships. The goal? Helping kids feel grounded and confident as they grow.
My Background
I’m originally from the Boston area but traded the salt air for the Colorado mountains. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Denver and completed my clinical internship at Early Childhood Wellness Place under the supervision of Blair Skinner. I’ve worked with kids in various roles for as long as I’ve been able to work (from babysitting, to teaching elementary school, to coaching high school sports), and I bring that wide range of experience into the therapy room with me.
Why I Chose This Path
Working with kids has always felt right for me. I believe the support kids get early on really shapes who they become, and it’s an honor to be part of that journey, helping families navigate the ups and downs of childhood with kindness and understanding.
What You Can Expect
You can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where your child is encouraged to be themselves. I show up with curiosity, empathy, and humor, and I work hard to build trust with both kids and their caregivers. Together, we’ll work through whatever’s coming your way, with tools, support, and connection.
