Individual Services - $125 per session
Child Play Therapy
Ages 2-10
Young children often express themselves through play long before they can find the words for big feelings. In child therapy, I use play-based techniques and Theraplay-informed approaches to help kids feel safe.
Common Areas of Support

Building confidence and self-esteem

Supporting children through trauma, loss or family changes
Adolescent & Teen Therapy
The teen years bring unique challenges. My approach helps teens feel respected and empowered to express themselves, while building tools to cope with anxiety, life transitions or trauma.

Diagnostic Evaluation & Assessment
$200
Before beginning therapy, I offer comprehensive evaluations to better understand the client’s needs and strengths. I use developmentally appropriate, evidence-based tools - including the Marschak Interaction Method (MIM) - to assess relational patterns, emotional regulation, and areas for support. These evaluations help guide treatment planning and ensure therapy is personalized, effective and rooted in research.
Assessments may include
Observations of parent-child interactions (MIM)
Screening for anxiety, trauma, depression and behavioral patterns
Collaborative feedback and recommendations for next steps
Consultation

I believe in working as a team to support each client’s growth. I offer consultation services for parents, teachers, physicians, and other professionals involved in your child’s care.
Brief consultations, up to 15 minutes, are complementary and can help with general questions or quick check-ins.
