Play is the language of children and is a highly valuable tool in allowing them to express their own thoughts and feelings.
I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, & couples, addressing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD, personality disorder, behavioral challenges, etc. I strongly believe that counseling is a partnership between the therapist and the client, designed to arrive at the needed goals. Whereas the therapist has skills and training, the client is the expert on themselves and their families. Through working together with regard for the dignity and worth of each individual, challenges can be alleviated and strengths enhanced.

My focus is on working with individuals, children and adolescents who have experienced trauma.
Through my life experience and education I believe developing supportive relationships has the power to reduce the effects of trauma for a child, parents and families. I approach therapy sessions differently depending on the client’s needs and goals. If it is the client’s goal to work on a current obstacle in life or lifetime of trauma I see it as an honor to help the client navigate the process of healing. Allowing a safe space for people to explore their emotions and develop skills to create a congruent environment around them and navigate the unknowns in life.

I have further training in EMDR for attachment trauma in adults and children/teens.
The populations I most enjoy working with are minors 3 and up and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Maybe you're wanting to reclaim your sense of self, or you're wanting to learn why it's difficult for you to be vulnerable with those you love. Some clients want to break the cycle of unhealthy relationship patterns. Others may want to process their childhood experiences and family dynamics that led to emotional and/or physical pain. If you find yourself in any of these places, I'd love to work with you.

Counseling can appear to be overwhelming and intimidating. However it does not have to be this way. As we seek validation and acceptance in our lives, there are certain paths that we must take to find them. I believe one of the most important things is for people to learn how to get along with other important people in their lives, such as friends, spouses, siblings, relatives, co-workers, etc. Additionally, I strongly believe that the fundamental relationship between a client and counselor is to foster openness, trust, and personal growth.
