The world has changed. These are unprecedented times and we are seeing more people struggling with their mental health. I have had over 30 years experience in the Behavioral/Mental Health Field. I have been in private practice for over 15 years but I have had a variety of experience prior to that including inpatient, residential facility, community mental health, and intensive outpatient. I see ADULTS, KIDS & TEENS for many different reasons including mood disorders, depression, anxiety, work issues, relationship issues, parenting, behavior disorders, etc. I also am a Registered Play Therapist.
In 2018 I obtained my certification for Registered Play Therapist which required 150 hours of education specifically for play therapy and 35 hours of supervision by a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor. This Certificate is issued by the Association of Play Therapy, of which I am a member as well. I am one of the only ones in the area with this specialty.
I have a Play Therapy room in this office building dedicated to seeing children & adolescents. I understand it's hard to ask for help. Let me assure you there will be no judgement here. We are located in a private setting off the "beaten path" where your confidentiality will be of utmost priority.
