Hi there! We are all on a journey in life and experience many twists and turns that create confusion and chaos that often cloud the beauty and joys in life. We have all been there and we all need others to help us find our way. I find it an honor to walk with clients of all ages as they dig deep into their life experiences and discover who they are meant to be! My own life experiences allow me to embrace the journey’s of others with authenticity and grace. My approach to therapy is providing a safe space for clients to explore their inner world through the expressive arts, including art, play, and sandtray. As a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor TM, I have a room full of variety toys, art supplies, sand tray toys, books and games in order help clients communicate those deeper thoughts and feelings that are too difficult to put words to. My past experiences in the foster care/adoption system, along with in home/community behavioral services have prepared me to work with people from all walks of life. I also enjoy sharing my love for play therapy and attachment through offering small group trainings. I am currently the Vice President of the PA chapter of the Association for Play Therapy. For other professionals, I am available for consultations and offer supervision for pre-licensed clinicians.
My Specialties
I have vast amount of training hours in attachment therapy (Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy level 1), general play therapy, Family therapy, trauma therapy (EMDR trained), and an introduction course to Synergetic Play therapy. I am currently enjoying learning Internal Family Systems and applying Polyvagal Theory to practice.
Next Steps: I am currently not taking new play therapy patients, but would be happy to add you to our waitlist if you are looking for another type of therapy! Please contact the office to learn more.
