Entrusting your child into the hands of a therapist can be equally nerve wracking.
I believe in therapy because I have experienced the healing power of this work in my own life. I am a Person-Centered Therapist which means I place a high value on you as an individual and how your experiences have shaped you. Under the right therapeutic conditions of safety, trust, acceptance, and positive regard, I believe you can heal from even the deepest wounds and thrive. I specialize in Child-Centered Play Therapy and children ages 2-7, but enjoy seeing individuals across the lifespan.

My passion is for kids to have a whole and healthy life by empowering and helping divided parents raise them between mom's house and dad's house. This is a complex journey and one that I personally walk every day. I wrote a book, "Co-parenting Works!
