After more than two decades immersed in social work, play therapy, attachment repair, and trauma focused practice, I reached a turning point in my clinical life. It became clear that what I had to offer was no longer just theory or technique, but an embodied way of being with children and with the therapists who sit alongside them.

I’ve worked as a frontline social worker, a play therapist in private practice, a group practice founder, and a clinical supervisor. I have spent thousands of hours in the playroom, tracking nervous systems, following symbolic language, and learning—again and again—that presence, regulation, and relationship are what make change possible. When words fall short, the body and the play always speak.

I have created a supervision community for play therapists to return—to themselves, to their intuition, and to the foundations of the work beneath models and methods. A space to slow down, reflect on clinical material, and tend to the nervous system that does the holding.

My approach to supervision is grounded in years of clinical practice, teaching, and mentorship. I support play therapists in refining their clinical attunement, deepening right-brain connection, and staying regulated and present in the face of complex trauma, attachment wounds, and developmental needs.
