I strongly believe in the importance of providing a safe, authentic, and accepting space for my clients to be able to take the brave steps necessary to obtain the growth and healing they desire. My personal and professional experiences have shaped my desire to support those who have been feeling stuck in a certain area of life, are struggling with life transitions and desiring skills to actively alter their current chapter. I commit to walk alongside my clients amidst their renewed strength, understanding, resilience, and hope.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan and have extensive experience working with children, teenagers, and adults struggling with ADHD, behavioral difficulties, anxiety, depression, self-harm, life transitions, relationship difficulties, survivors of trauma, adoption and foster care.
I utilize attachment-focused techniques, and other evidenced-based treatments to join clients in exploring and connecting important elements of their story to highlight the strength and resiliency they already possess. I am a National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC), Registered Play Therapist (RPT), a Prepare/Enrich facilitator.
