Because your family’s journey is entirely unique, your care will never be "one-size-fits-all." I integrate evidence-based interventions with a warm child-centered, relational framework. By combining structured, proven psychological modalities with creative play, authentic connection, and empathy, I ensure that therapy feels both clinically grounded and deeply supportive for your child.
My Therapeutic Approach
-
Art Therapy: Utilizing creative expression to help children process thoughts and emotions that might be difficult to put into words.
Digital Play Therapy: Meeting children in their natural language of play to help them safely explore feelings, resolve conflicts, and build coping skills
Virtual Sandplay: A therapeutic style to visually express internal conflicts and inner worlds.
-
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT): Helping clients identify how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, offering practical tools to manage anxiety and stress.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT): Teaching practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship management.
Solution-Focused Brief (SFBT): Focusing on your family's current strengths and future goals to find immediate, actionable solutions.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring different "parts" of the self like the anxious part or the protective part to find inner balance and healing.
Attachment-based: Focusing on the safety and health of the primary relationships and bonds within the family.
Emotionally Focused: Helping children identify, voice, and safely navigate deep emotional experiences.
Culturally Sensitive: Ensuring that your family’s unique cultural background, values, and lived experiences are fully respected and integrated into care.
-
Trauma-Focused: Providing a physically and emotionally safe space specifically designed to process and heal from overwhelming or distressing life events.
Strength-Based: Shifting the focus away from "deficits" or diagnoses to build upon your child's inherent resilience, character, and capabilities.
Person-Centered: A compassionate, non-judgmental approach where your child is viewed as the true expert of their own experience.
Session Vibes
My virtual sessions are dynamic, collaborative, and custom-built for how young brains actually process the world. Using secure, HIPAA-compliant technology, I bring interactive screen-sharing tools and creative exercises directly to your child’s safest space—their own room. For caregivers, virtual therapy means no after-school traffic, rushed commutes, or tedious waiting rooms.
Here is what you can expect from our time together:
Child-Led Sessions: We always start with a brief check-in and a collaborative chat about what would be most helpful to explore. Your child helps steer the focus, and then we dive right in.
A "Come As You Are" Environment: Sessions are a relaxed, welcoming space where they can show up as their authentic self—whether that means wearing their comfiest PJs, bringing a snack, or using a fidget toy.
Deeply Transformative Care: While the vibe is low-pressure, our clinical work is grounded in powerful, evidence-based frameworks tailored for digital engagement.
