I work with women, men, and children over the age of 8 who deal with everything from ADHD, anxiety, past trauma, and life transitions to grief and loss, depression, and ongoing feelings of unhappiness. In my previous career as a special education teacher, I was moved by the overwhelming need of both the children and parents when faced with special needs, inspiring me to also become a registered play therapist. I am familiar and comfortable working with people of all ages who have physical and emotional characteristics that require unique strategies for coping.

Someone once told me that everyone is walking around with an 'under construction' sign above their head, meaning that behind the scenes everyone is working on something. My goal is to help you alter your perception of you, and to assist you in finding your way to living a life you find fulfilling. Occasionally we are found at a crossroads and are in need of some type of support, or change. I have experience treating a wide variety of clients including LGBTQ youth and adults, marriage and couples, athletes, and first responders.

It sometimes feels easier to seek support for physical challenges than for emotional ones, especially if we are used to thinking that we should be able to handle our feelings and challenges on our own. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many of the adult and child clients who see me struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety and worry, impulse control, organization/planning/distractibility/sensory challenges, feeling easily overwhelmed, and peer or relationship challenges. They hope to experience less chronic overwhelm, burnout, fewer relationship conflicts, more emotional regulation, and more joy.
