• Preschoolers

    Ages 2-5

    When I work with preschool age children, this often involves play therapy with the child combined with consultation with parents and teachers. It truly takes a village at any age, but for my youngest clients, utilizing a collaborative model is key to a comprehensive treatment process.

    With my youngest clients I am prescriptive in my approach mixing evidence-based, strategies with play therapy interventions drawing from developmentally appropriate use of toys, art, games, creativity, and imaginative play.

  • Elementary & Middle Schoolers

    Ages 6-14

    The elementary - middle school years span a large range of developmental milestones. For some in this age range that means utilizing play therapy techniques, for others this may involve more talk therapy. In both cases, I focus on the creative use of evidence-based strategies with hands-on interventions. I draw from the use of developmentally appropriate toys, art and games. In cases when appropriate, I use a collaborative model, working closely with parents, schools, pediatricians and other providers as part of a comprehensive treatment process.

  • High School, College & Beyond

    14-25+

    Building a therapeutic relationship is cornerstone to working with teens and young adults. Sessions are driven by evidenced-based protocols while promoting a non-judgmental atmosphere. When appropriate, I use a collaborative model working with parents, schools and physicians as needed on a case by case basis.

    Clients who are seen before their 25th birthday are welcome to continue when it is mutually agreed upon.

    Clients who are 30+ may be a proper fit for my practice. These cases are typically case by case. I am always happy to discuss this with you.
