Welcome to The Play Therapy Center, where I work to build stronger relationships through play! I’m so glad you’re here. As a mom, you carry a lot — the worries, the questions, the hope that your child will be okay. At The Play Therapy Center, you’ll find a warm, supportive space where both you and your child can breathe a little easier. I offer specialized play therapy and child counseling services with a focus on connection and family well-being. I'm a trained play therapist and child counselor who works one-on-one with young children facing emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges. My approach is designed to create a safe and nurturing environment where your child can express themselves, build self-esteem, enhance emotional regulation, and develop important social and problem-solving skills. I also support children on the autism spectrum, using play as a powerful tool to help them express themselves and build emotional resilience. Additionally, I work with people of all ages with trauma and attachment issues.

​

At The Play Therapy Center, you're not just another client — you're a mom, a parent, a family. I work closely with you to understand your child’s needs and help create more peace and connection at home. You’ll always know who’s working with your child — it’s me, every time.

​

• One Consistent Counselor: Your child will see the same therapist at every visit — someone who really knows them and cares deeply.

• Safe, Comfortable Space: My office is designed to feel like a cozy, home-like setting where kids can be themselves and moms can feel at ease. Don't worry about a babysitter, feel free to bring your other children.

• Support for Moms and Families: I offer guidance, encouragement, and practical tools to help you support your child outside the therapy room.

• Specialized Play Therapy Services: Rooted in research, compassion, and years of experience.

​

I believe in working closely with parents and caregivers to create a strong, collaborative partnership. I offer resources, guidance, and support to help you strengthen your relationship with your child so that you can navigate the challenges your child may be facing, both in and out of therapy. ​If you’re wondering whether your child’s behaviors are something more… if you're feeling unsure or overwhelmed… let’s talk. Play therapy can help your child feel more confident, connected, and understood — and it can help you feel more supported in your parenting journey.

I am located at 131 Lincoln Place Court, Ste. 406; Belleville, IL 62221. Please contact me today to learn more about how my specialized play therapy services can support your child’s unique needs.
