As a teacher for over a decade, I have worked with children struggling to cope with friendships, families, and their own emotional regulation. My classroom was filled with teaching coping skills, tools for regulation, and modeling behaviors to create a healthy environment. But sometimes there was an essential piece missing for complete emotional wellness- counseling services for children outside of the school setting.
About two years ago I made the decision to move in a different direction and become a counselor. From my experiences at the school level I am conscious of what it will take for my clients to succeed in all environments. The language of children is play and at times the mind needs to express itself beyond words. I use the integration of play, art, and sandplay therapy techniques with clients to support them in exploring and regulating emotions in a safe space.
I also integrate yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices to connect the mind with the body. As your child's counselor I will support him or her on the journey towards authentic happiness.

Services
Sandplay therapy is a form of psychotherapy and personal development that can be used with children and adults.
During the sandplay session clients use their hands and miniatures to create a scene in the tray.
It is a very powerful process that brings about inner harmony.
Children are often not able to use verbal skills to express their emotions.
Through the use of experiential play therapy in the counseling session, I am able to meet the child where he or she is at emotionally and developmentally.

They may be struggling with feelings of anxiousness or depression, emotional regulation, relationships with peers and family members, or behavioral problems.
There are many benefits for you to not use insurance for counseling services.
When claiming insurance, your options are limited to who you are able to see and what parts of your treatment plan are covered.
Also, your therapist needs to diagnose you to get reimbursed.
Often times, insurance companies do not pay the entire cost of the session, leaving you to be responsible for paying the remainder in addition to your co-pay and deductible.
