I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Certified Play Therapist. I was a school counselor for almost a decade and have offered individual and family therapy in a private practice setting for 10+ years. I am passionate about helping children, teens, young adults, and families reach peak life satisfaction. I partner with those facing bumps along their journey to cope with life's challenges. Please reach out to get to know me further!
People are the center of my approach to counseling. The therapeutic relationship is my first priority. I believe each person is capable of self-direction and growth, so I rely on the client to lead the counseling process. During therapy, I pull from Cognitive Behavioral strategies, Strength-Based Counseling, and Gestalt psychology.
If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just summer scaries, I'm here to help! Reach out today!
