Specializes in: Child or Adolescent, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD/ADHD, School Issues, Behavioral Issues,

Introduction

I help young children and their families navigate big feelings, behavior challenges, anxiety, and social struggles through warm, developmentally informed play therapy. Children often express themselves best through play, and sessions are designed to help them build emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships at home and school. As a Registered Play Therapist and School Social Worker, I bring extensive experience supporting children across early childhood, elementary school, and family systems. I specialize in working with sensitive children, ADHD, autism-related needs, school stress, emotional outbursts, transitions, and friendship difficulties. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, offering guidance, tools, and strategies that create progress beyond the therapy room. When families feel supported, children often thrive. Now accepting new clients beginning May 2026. Please note: As a current employee of Chicago Public Schools, there are some restrictions regarding students I am able to serve privately. Please include your child’s school when reaching out so eligibility can be confirmed. Parent consultations are always welcome.
