about me
My name is Mylz, like the “miles” in milestones. I founded milestones play therapy & counseling LLC to make addressing childhood mental health approachable, creative, and developmentally appropriate. I recognize that as a parent or caregiver, you are the expert on your child. Sometimes you might need support in helping your child maintain mental wellness and achieve their developmental milestones. This is where I come in to decipher what's happening, what's working, and how we can address what’s not working by using a strengths-based approach.
I have clinical experience working with childhood anxiety, ADHD, behavioral and emotional dysregulation due to traumatic experiences, and children struggling to adjust to life's transitions - whether that's attending a new school, gaining a new sibling, divorce, adoption, foster care, or the death of a loved one. I also work with children experiencing relational challenges, either at school with teachers or peers, or at home with their parents. If these challenges are relevant to you and your child, let’s take the first step toward growth together!
After graduating from Georgetown University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The George Washington University. Since then, I have been providing play therapy and parenting support to families in Washington, D.C. and Maryland.
