Play is the foundation for learning through which I instill meaningful connections and foster problem-solving skills. Coupled with a certification in family trauma, my extensive knowledge and expertise in the neurology of play and parent coaching presents itself as a unique opportunity. Through my work with children and families, I focus on a dynamic approach, involving the internal state and external environment. I capture the individuality of the family unit, designing a therapeutic plan to build confidence and empower lasting change. The philosophy of my practice takes a holistic viewpoint to understand the whole child, laying a foundation for future success.
I specialize in treating children with autism, attention difficulties, behavior challenges, language learning disabilities and picky eating in a supportive setting. When it comes to feeding, mealtime is truly special. It highlights a child's relationship with food, encouraging exploration, positive role models, and skill proficiency. Nutrition counseling further considers environmental attributes, facilitating education and self-efficacy. I provide parent coaching sessions and work closely with educators and other professionals to increase awareness, ensure consistency, and carryover invaluable tools.
My goal is to empower parents and caregivers with strategies and resources. I welcome the child and adult into the therapeutic space because, as partners, we can achieve so much more!
