A decision to begin therapy is a decision for learning and change. I believe learning and change take place in relationships that are forward looking, genuine, safe, and trusting. I am a licensed psychologist, and my specialty areas include providing therapy and counseling to children, adolescents and adults with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorders, conduct disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. My specialty areas also include developmental, school, learning, and adjustment disorders.

My background is working with children, teens, adults and families struggling with life transitions, family issues, behavior difficulties, anxiety, and depression.
Therapy for children, adolescents, families and adults utilizing a Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Strengths Based and Solution-Foucused therapies.

I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change, and I am committed to helping clients achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being.

Have you noticed that you have been feeling anxious, down, stressed, or stuck? Are you ready to improve how you feel and think?

I utilize child-centered play therapy with children, I speak teen, and I enjoy working alongside young adults through their life transitions.
I believe that children may not always have the words to express what is going on in their world. As a therapist, I can help build self-esteem, increase coping and emotional regulation skills, decrease anxious behaviors, & nurture creativity. I can provide support in helping build resilience and strengthen relationships with others by facilitating communication through talk, play and expressive arts therapy. I use art, music, play, and modeling to promote emotional growth and learning throughout our sessions together. I provide a safe space for everyone who walks through my door, no matter age or background.

Hello and welcome! Along my journey to becoming a counselor, I truly gained experience in what it means to take heart, have courage, and show up in my own life and the lives of others. I consider it an honor to now provide a safe place for children, teens, young adults, and parents to do the same. I prioritize holding space for all my clients to have the freedom to share, explore, create, regulate, play, and heal. I support little ones learning how to handle big feelings, kids and teens navigating growing up, young adults making their way in the world and building their own families, and the challenges that come with parenthood.

If you or your child are going through a difficult season of life, I would love to come alongside you to support you on your journey toward healing.
Often times when individuals seek therapy, they are in some of the hardest seasons of life. I strive to offer an environment and experience filled with acceptance and empathy to help you work through those challenges. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help process big feelings and hardships they may be experiencing. I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents who are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, and other difficulties that are keeping them from living their best life.

Being a child can be challenging, and parenting them can be even harder! When children are faced with big emotions and challenges, sometimes they need support navigating life in a way that keeps them growing forward. When caregivers have tried books, talking to other parents, and nothing seems to work, therapy can sometimes offer the missing piece they need to help their children. I utilize therapeutic play techniques and developmentally appropriate skills to address challenges with emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and many of the other hurdles kids face every day.

Since talk therapy isn't a good fit for children still learning words, I use play therapeutically to communicate with and treat a child using their "language".
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who enjoys working with young people. Like adults, a young person can experience interpersonal, emotional and behavioral difficulties usually as a result of stress. I use creative therapeutic interventions to help you better express feelings and resolve problems. I can offer special insight into learning difficulties and school issues. I understand that kids can have struggles that aren't easy to work through alone. Sometimes it seems easier just to hide from your problems, but facing difficult issues with a safe person can have a much healthier outcome.

I am unable to accept new patients at this time. Are you at a point where you or a loved one has lost hope? With over 27 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, marriages, and families, I've seen many find hope that was previously absent by using a short-term, targeted, and effective approach to counseling. Each therapist has unique strengths. Mine is working through tough problems other therapists don't prefer to treat by seeing clients in their homes rather than in an office. Most people are able to see a significant change within 6 months. Counseling should not last forever and neither should your struggles
