What should a new client know about working with you?

I work to make therapy approachable and comfortable, especially for children who may feel nervous at first. I use creativity, play, and conversation to help kids express themselves in ways that feel natural, while also giving parents tools to support progress at home. Families can expect me to be warm, collaborative, and focused on building a safe, trusting relationship.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

With children and families, the first sessions focus on building rapport and understanding what challenges are showing up at home or school. Sessions may include play-based activities, games, and creative exercises that help kids express feelings and practice coping skills. I also involve parents through regular check-ins, providing strategies that strengthen communication and support positive changes outside of therapy. For teens and young adults, I balance open conversation with practical skill-building, always tailoring the process to fit the client’s developmental stage and needs.
