Over the 18 years in the behavioral health field, I've attributed my growth and experience to all of the clients I've seen. One of the most difficult aspects of therapy is having to be vulnerable. In order to be vulnerable a client must feel seen, heard, respected and safe. I've worked in multiple settings such as school, corporate healthcare, home, clinic and private practice. I've worked with families, individually, with children, teen and adults with addiction, behavioral health needs and disabilities. Mostly utilizing a strengths based and family systems perspective/model.

The hardest part of connecting with a therapist is sifting through the many options and trying to decide based off of a short bio who may be the right fit for you. Therapy is not just about degree or years of experience (while both very important) but about ability to create a connection. I emphasize the importance of every person being the expert of themselves and their goals, I am here as a guide on that ride. With background in working with young children up to adults I am flexible regarding age, demographic, and background. The best way to find out if we would be a match, give a call and I am happy to provide phone consult.

You don’t know where to turn anymore. Some days are so overwhelming it feels like you’re barely keeping it together. Balancing it all—work, family, and relationships—just feels too much to handle. You’re feeling directionless & defeated with no solution in sight. You keep telling yourself it shouldn’t be this hard, but thoughts like “Am I good enough?” or “This shouldn’t be happening to me” keep playing on a loop in your head. Life changes have only made things harder. You could be returning to work after maternity leave, starting a new job, or your kids are going to a new school—these transitions bring a whole new level of stress.

As a board certified music therapist, I believe creativity is an essential tool for life. Creativity makes us resilient, effective, helps us solve problems, and helps us imagine what is possible. You may be looking for creative ways to approach therapy for you or your child. You or your child may identify as neurodivergent and want to explore ways to manage stress, develop coping strategies, express complex emotions, develop emotional intelligence, and enjoy positive and affirming social experiences. Music creates a rich environment for all of that all while helping individuals build self-esteem and a positive sense of self.

Having a safe space - and taking the time to reflect is crucial. Reconsidering how you view yourself - and the way you relate to those around you - can shift your perspective. This can lead to personal enrichment and healthier boundaries in your life and relationships.

Toddler Therapists
What are the behavioral signs indicating a toddler might need counseling?
Common behavioral signs that a child may need counseling include high levels of emotional distress or anxiety, learning challenges, interpersonal conflict, anger, or social withdrawal. Any drastic changes in toddler behavior or self-esteem can be indicative that a child may benefit from therapy. Seeing a therapist at the early stages of any behavioral changes can be most impactful on behavior, as well as helpful to caregivers who may receive guidance on what symptoms to look for in their child in the future, even if therapy is not warranted at that time.
Can a two-year-old see a psychologist?
Children and adults of all ages can see psychologists and other forms of mental health professionals, such as counselors, psychiatrists, and social workers. Families seeking therapy for their toddler should just be aware that any guidance they seek should come from a professional who has specific experience working with young children, as well as the specific modalities that are appropriate for young children, such as play therapy.
What is the most effective type of therapy for toddlers and preschoolers?
In general, play therapy is the most effective and common form of therapy for young children. Play therapy helps facilitate behavior change by offering an age-appropriate way for children to express their emotions and develop more effective coping strategies. Toddlers with specific concerns may benefit from more specialized forms of therapy, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for toddlers in families in which there is significant parent-child relational conflict.
What happens during therapy sessions for toddlers?
What occurs in therapy sessions for toddlers depends on the therapeutic approach being used by the therapist. Most toddler therapists will use some form of play therapy in sessions to encourage toddler engagement. In play therapy sessions, children are encouraged to use toys within the therapy setting to express their emotions; subsequent responses by the therapist and/or family members can help guide toddler behavior and behavior change. Toddler therapy sessions can also involve family therapy or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which can help improve parenting behaviors and reduce strain on families.
