I come to your home, the place your child already feels safest, to help them work through big feelings in the language they know best. And I walk alongside you, so you can understand what lives beneath the behavior.
A child who is struggling isn't giving you a hard time. They're having a hard time — and they're telling you the only way they can.
My work is quiet and deeply attentive. I follow your child's lead — the sandtray, the dollhouse, the paint — and trust that play will take us exactly where we need to go.
I see every child as a growing plant. My job isn't to force the bloom, but to give them the light, care and safety to grow on their own.
I bring both clinical depth and real warmth to every session. Therapy doesn't need to feel clinical to be rigorous; it can be soft and still be serious. I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with specialized training in early childhood trauma and hands-on experience in play therapy. I care just as deeply for the grown-ups as I do for the little ones. Parenting a child who is struggling can feel lonely, and you deserve support, understanding, and a place to breathe too.
Seeing children at home means I meet them in their own world: their toys, their rhythms, their siblings in the next room. It means you don't have to rush anyone into the car after a long day. It means the healing happens where life actually happens.
When children grow, parents grow too.
Play is a child's first language. Through play, your child works through big feelings they can't yet put into words.
Weekly sessions in your home, using my playroom tapestry and your child's own toys, with regular parent check-ins.
Begin play therapyA calm, non-judgmental space to understand what's beneath your child's behavior, and how to respond with warmth.
Sessions in your home, at times that fit your family, with simple tools for the hard moments.
Feeling unsure during tantrums? You're not alone.
Start coachingI observe your child at school or daycare, then meet with you to share feedback and coaching on how to support them.
Coming to you isn't only convenient. It changes the work itself.
Children open up faster in familiar spaces. There's no new building to brave, no stranger's waiting room — just their world, and me in it.
I get to see the rhythms, the routines, the sibling dynamics. That means guidance that's specific to your family, not generic advice.
No commute, no rushing after school, no wrangling siblings into the car. Your energy goes into connection instead of logistics.
A free 20-minute conversation. You share what's going on; I listen, and we see if we're a good fit.
We meet, just us grown-ups, to understand your child's story, your hopes, and your family's world.
I arrive with my playroom tapestry and a few chosen basics, and we weave in your child's own favorite toys. Your child leads; I follow, notice, and reflect.
Regular parent check-ins keep you close to the process, with tools to bring the work into everyday life.
Don't see yours? Ask me anything, there are no silly questions here.
Play therapy is a research-supported approach where children use toys, art and imaginative play to express and work through feelings. For children, play is how they make sense of the world, so it's the most natural way for them to heal.
Not at all. I bring my playroom tapestry and some simple play materials, and we'll also use the toys your child already knows and loves. All we need is a quiet corner where your child can have some privacy for our time together.
Like any garden, every child grows in their own time and in their own way. Change can't be rushed or predicted, but it does come. Often it starts quietly: a calmer bedtime, a feeling named out loud, a softer moment after a hard one. I'll walk alongside you the whole way, helping you notice and celebrate each small bloom as it appears.
Yes. You're the most important person in your child's life, so regular parent sessions are part of the process. You'll never be left wondering what's happening behind the door.
I currently see families in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Taking the first step can feel big. You don't need to have the right words. Just tell me a little about your family, and I'll be in touch within two business days.
