I enjoy doing play therapy along with parent coaching.
I believe that creating a safe space where clients are accepted for being their authentic selves creates healing and self-understanding leading clients to living their most fulfilling lives possible. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most healing and helpful aspect of therapy. I strive to help individuals navigate challenges while allowing for self-compassion, exploration, and self-love. I encourage clients to see their strengths in order to achieve their goals. I aim for empathy, respect, play, humor, and learning to be a part of therapy for all ages.

With children, I use the same approach through play to increase a child’s sense of safety and a stronger awareness of the world around them.
We often find ourselves stuck in place, not quite sure how we got there or what we need to do next. Our sense of self suffers, our relationships aren't where we want them to be, we don't feel successful. We long for someone to lead us in the right direction, to sit next to us and hold our hand, and to give us the tools we need to move past the hurt and pain. This is where I come in, your personal confidant and guide through life’s sticky patches. Let’s work together to help you become the person, partner, friend, child or parent you’ve always wanted to be.

Counseling is my passion. It is my passion because I have seen lives and families change through this powerful growth and healing medium.

Counseling provides clients with the opportunity to make life changes and acquire tools to navigate life in a new way.

I can also provide specialized treatment plans in expressive arts therapies - play therapy, art therapy and drama therapy - especially powerful therapy tools with children, teens, couples and families.
Everyone has a story. Our stories say something about who we are and how we manage life, how we get our needs met and how we relate. We all have the same basic needs for love, acceptance, connection, significance and purpose. Life can be full of joy and laughter, and at other times there can be deep hurt and sorrow when we need someone with an understanding heart and mind to join us in our journey. My heartfelt compassion and commitment to each person I serve, specifically caring for their unique needs makes all the difference.

I have an eclectic practice in which I pull from a number of different techniques and theories, including brain spotting, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, play therapy, gestalt therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Counseling is a journey and admitting that you need help is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you will do. This is an active journey that we will take together. Often we feel that activity and movement will help us to feel better, but underneath that unrest is a range of psychological processes such as depression, overwhelming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety. Choosing to ignore your issues tends to make life more difficult and places a strain on your relationships. Through our counseling relationship we will create goals, set the pace and find your path of healing.
