Group Therapy
Dungeons & Dragons
Do you need a space to explore your identity, develop friendships, and find purpose? This group utilizes table top role playing games, like Dungeons & Dragons, to help you connect to your own sense of character, community, and calling as you learn to address issues around self esteem, social skills, belonging, executive functioning, creativity, collaboration, and mental health.
-
Character: Discover different facets of yourself as you take on various roles in our games. It's a chance to delve into your values, traits, and perspectives, and understand how they shape your choices.
-
Community: Forge meaningful connections with fellow adventurers. Through shared stories and experiences, you'll find a sense of belonging that goes beyond the games, drawing from your own cultural background and experiences.
-
Calling: Uncover a sense of purpose that resonates with you. As you step into the shoes of your characters, you'll tap into aspirations and dreams that might guide you in your real-life endeavors.
This group is a fun, unique, safe haven to learn, connect, and grow. Together, we aim to boost confidence, strengthen community, and inspire a greater sense of purpose that extends beyond the realm of games.
How it works:
Participants jointly create an imaginary world which acts as the setting the an adventure. Then each participant designs and controls their own fictional character living within this world. I, your facilitator, populate the world with meaningful goals, challenges, interesting locales, and lively inhabitants for the characters to interact with. Using a combination of chance, decision making, and role play, participants work together to overcome the challenges their characters encounter, moving the story forward until they achieve their ultimate goal.
Fantasy and science fiction, mythology, history, comics, anime, and pop culture are all sources of inspiration here as we explore themes of identity, transformation, friendship, trauma, hope, loss, spiritual power, magic, conflict, and belonging.
Navigating these themes through the creation and embodiment of a fictional character in connection with others is not only fun, it also provides emotional distance and safety to explore one's identity, develop empathy, gain perspective, practice social skills, improve collaboration, and strengthen problem solving skills.
All levels of experience with Dungeons and Dragons or role playing games are welcome! Contact me for a free consultation!

Adolescent Therapy
You miss connecting with your teen. It feels like they're hiding behind video games, phones, and other screens. Hiding from responsibilities. Hiding from the challenges of life. Hiding from feelings. From a diagnosis. From judgement. From the world. Others. You. Themselves. They may even have great reasons for hiding: shyness, bullying, fear of not fitting in, or the natural opposition that helps them redefine themselves as individuals. Still... the constant battle for control is exhausting. The distance is worrisome, and you fear that screens and isolation will prevent your teen from developing the skills for real connection in the world.
My aim is to help you and your teen balance their inner and outer lives by defining what matters to them. If your teen enjoys geek culture, creative arts, or spirituality, we may be a great fit. I draw from these lens and practices to help teens:
-
relieve stress
-
explore their worldview
-
explore gender, cultural, and racial identity
-
develop their strengths, confidence, and contribution
-
regulate their emotions, thoughts and behaviors
-
improve communication & relationships
-
develop independence & decision making
-
manage symptoms
-
improve functioning in other areas of life
-
build perspective
It all starts with the willingness to enter your teen's world and jointly creating a space that's safe for them to explore, express, and extend who they are. Ready to support your teens transformation into the person they wish to be?

Child Therapy
You want the absolute best for you child, and when they behave in challenging ways, have extreme mood shifts, or face overwhelming life events, not knowing how to help can leave you feeling helpless, confused, and frustrated. It's heartbreaking to see them struggle in various areas of their life, especially when it begins to adversely affect how they seem themselves. Everyone is doing the best they can, but when your greatest dreams for your child and family are slipping further away, sometimes your best feels like it's not enough.
It's my goal to restore this dream and guide you towards its realization by helping you to help your child create the solution that works for them. If your child enjoys geek culture, creative arts, or spiritual ideas, we may be a great fit. I incorporate these lens and practices with play to help children:
-
relieve stress
-
regulate their emotions, thoughts and behaviors
-
problem solve
-
build strengths
-
strengthen social skills
-
achieve academic success
-
make meaning of their experiences
Children are our best teachers. Why not learn from their interests, perspectives, and strengths as how to best engage them in their own growth and development? Ready to help your child feel safe, curious, and empowered to face their challenges?

Family Therapy
As a parent, you wish for your family to have strong ties, enriching experiences, and all the love in the world. But nothing has quite prepared you for the stressors that have gotten in the way and the resulting negative impact they have on everyone's mood, thoughts, and behaviors. For all of your effort and positive intentions, you come away with arguments, disconnect, blame, and shame. You've done what you could to find peace, understand one another, and set boundaries, but nothing you try seems to stick.
My role is to guide your family in coming together--working as a single unit while respecting and honoring individual differences. If members of your family enjoy geek culture, creative arts, or spirituality, we may be a great fit. I draw from these lens and practices to help you:
-
Learn about one another's strengths and needs
-
Understand the connection between your family's past, present and future
-
Improve communication & problem solving
-
Regulate emotion, thoughts, and behavior
-
manage stress
-
Connect with more empathy, compassion and fun!
It's exhausting playing the "blame game." Are you ready to shift your family's focus to strengthening the role everyone plays in problem solving and supporting one another?
