Adolescence is a fascinating and complex time of rapid growth and change. During this transition, life can sometimes be overwhelming and present new challenges. For over 17 years I have been a counselor in the mental health field working with young children and adolescents with a variety of issues. My person-centered approach to counseling integrates a variety of counseling modalities and techniques. Working in a collaborative partnership with parents, my goal is to empower youth and children to discover their inner strengths, build on personal successes and utilize healthy decision-making skills to navigate their life path.

Child-Centered Play Therapy (ages 3 - 10) provides an opportunity for children to process problems and challenging experiences, just as an adult uses talk therapy with their struggles. I value a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate environment for my clients to feel safe and respected as they share their story through the counseling process.
We at Parkside Counseling Center invite you to reach out to us if we can assist you in supporting mental health needs. We understand the importance of treating the whole family individually or together. We look forward to supporting your path to wellness.
