Play therapy and integrative trauma work for kids navigating big experiences.
Trauma may be the underlying cause.
I partner with parents/caregivers and your child to create a treatment plan based on the child’s strengths, challenges, and needs with measurable goals. I also provide parental/caregiver and family member support as needed. Periodic parent/caregiver meetings to review treatment plan and progress will be scheduled as needed.
Consulting and collaborating with your child’s medical doctor, holistic practitioner and/or psychiatrist may be helpful in working with your child.
Treatment is based on the most appropriate and effective approach for presenting challenges. Treatment may include, but is not limited to:
I follow a Four-Phase Treatment model for children and adolescents with developmental/ complex trauma and dissociation:
For the best possible outcomes, weekly sessions are essential through Phases One, Two and Three, with frequency initially reduced to every other week followed by monthly check-in during the Fourth Phase of treatment until graduation from therapy.

Frequently asked
The Questions clients most commonly ask about this pathway.
It depends on the child and the goals we set together. Many families begin with weekly sessions for 8–16 weeks, then adjust the cadence as stabilization and integration progress.
Caregiver involvement is central. We typically meet together for the first session, and I weave caregiver coaching, reflective conversation, and family touchpoints throughout treatment.
Play is the language of childhood. Within a clinically structured play space, children process experiences, rehearse new responses, and integrate parts of self that words alone can’t reach.
Yes. I have specialized training for prenatal and early-childhood medical events, attachment disturbances, and the somatic ways early experience expresses itself in little bodies.
