For Therapists & Clinical Collaboration
Tabletop role-playing as a structured, supportive tool for connection, communication, and social-emotional growth.
What I Offer
I collaborate with licensed therapists to facilitate tabletop roleplaying groups designed to encourage connection, communication, and social-emotional growth.
While my primary experience is working with children and teens, I also support adult groups and adapt to a wide range of therapeutic goals, including grief processing, neurodivergent support, confidence-building, and community-focused work.
As a Certified Therapeutic Game Master through Geek Therapeutics, I guide game structure, pacing, and participant engagement, while the therapist provides clinical direction and intervention.
