Let's face it; sometimes being human can be downright overwhelming. Managing a family and a household on top of navigating work stresses and relationship and interpersonal difficulties, might leave you feeling stretched to your physical and emotional limit. Just when you think you are going to snap, your child begins having emotional or behavioral difficulties that you can’t seem to solve in the ways you have in the past. When we experience difficulties in life, it is often the hardest to ask for help, but sometimes the strongest and most important action is to reach out and request the assistance of others.

Stuck? Lost? Broken? If what you are trying isn’t working I would love to work with you to promote change. I see people ages 3 to 103 for struggles in their family relationships, medical trauma, previous abuse, self harm, behavior difficulties, and whatever else comes up along the way. I’m a registered play therapist with years of experience in trauma of all sorts, including medical trauma. Additionally I focused my research in graduate school on siblings of chronically ill children as they often by necessity have less time with their parents which can have a variety of outcomes similar to chronic trauma.

I offer play therapy for children ages 3-10, and talk therapy for ages 11+.
I believe in looking beyond symptoms and behaviors to find the root cause of an issue and strive to make sure clients are not only heard but understood. There are reasons behind the behaviors and feelings that mark our lives, and I want to help people discover what those reasons are and how to address them. I use a person-centered approach and have worked with folks (including seniors and their caregivers) dealing with grief, loss, and life transitions. I have clinical experience in various settings with clients who have anxiety, depression, PTSD, and a spectrum of dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder.

My specialties include Play Therapy, anxiety, depression, child/adolescent issues, parent education, trauma and abuse, wellness and eating disorder recovery.
I believe that each individual, regardless of age, has the ability to grow and change given the proper tools and support. By providing a meaningful and nurturing environment, I lay the groundwork for personal insight and transformation to occur. I use a non-directive Person Centered Approach to counseling which often involves expressive arts and games. At times, when a more directive approach is appropriate, I use cognitive and/or behavioral techniques.
