My education and training specialized in Play/Activity Therapy with children.
I felt it was important to focus my specialization on working with children, because I understand how important it is to build good mental health foundations at a young age. However, I strive to work along the entire lifespan, because I believe that it is important for everyone to experience their own counseling journey at their own time. Some of my experiential training was during the COVID pandemic and provided me greater knowledge on the benefits of telehealth for some clients and the importance of personal connection.
