"Anything mentionable is manageable." Fred Rogers

I offer therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults. I use a person centered and trauma informed approach to therapy, incorporating play and art therapy activities. I believe that you and your family are the experts on yourselves, and I will work collaboratively to determine therapy goals and interventions that will best help to meet you.
