My Approach
Children learn best when therapy doesn't feel like work. My sessions are play-based and tailored to what interests your child. We work on clinical goals through activities they genuinely enjoy, which means faster progress and skills that stick.
I also believe parents deserve clarity. After each session, you'll know what we worked on, how your child did, and what progress looks like. Honest assessments, clear communication, and a therapist who genuinely cares about your child's success.
