As a committed Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I specialize in working with preschool and elementary age children and their families. Children do not always have the language they need to work through their struggles. If we listen and allow the toys to be their words and play to be their language, they tell us so much. Every child has a unique wonder and light inside of them, sometimes they just need help developing their tools to be their best self. Play is how children express themselves, practice and learn new tasks, and regulate emotions. Many children can benefit from play therapy.

We all face times when we don't know the way forward, when relationships are hard, when we're not sure we can ever get past the pain. But there's hope.

Together, we can work through your struggle and pain so you can walk forward confidently in your life.

Navigating the complexities of trauma, depression, and substance use can be especially daunting for active military members. The unique pressures of service, alongside these challenges, often lead to feelings of isolation and misunderstanding.

Tailored care that respects your service and individual experiences can offer a pathway to resilience and recovery.
