Francesca's passion is working with children and teens incorporating Play Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She appreciates helping families thrive by helping children heal, grow, and develop stronger resilience. She values the therapeutic relationship by holding a safe space for children, teens and young adults to feel heard, understood, and valued with no judgment.
