Prior to that I worked both in hospitals and out-patients programs; thus I've worked with everything from small children, to alcohol and drug addictions, to suicide prevention.
Trained in Christian marriage and family counseling - as you might expect, my practice naturally focuses on all things family. Whether I'm helping marriages rekindle their spark, discovering that ever so subtle intervention which transforms discord into family harmony, or breaking through the invisible wall of an obstinate adolescent or child - with over 35 years in the field, there's little I haven't dealt with.

Waitlist for new clients
I look forward to collaborating, in order to best help your child get through life's hurdles, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding how therapy can benefit your child.
I have a passion for helping children deal with big emotions. Children, often, do not have the ability to verbally express their feelings in words, and, therefore, my preferred approach is child-centered play therapy, which utilizes play as a medium for self-expression. Child-centered play therapy allows a child the freedom to process through the complex emotions they are experiencing, in a safe, contained space, and within a therapeutic relationship. Typically, children being able to communicate and experience their feelings in the playroom will alleviate the behavioral concerns that may result from emotional distress.

My ideal clients are adults, adolescents, and children who are open to learning about how their thought patterns affect their overall wellbeing. While working together, you can expect to identify negative or unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and ways to alter them and cope healthily. People need to feel heard, seen, and validated, and that happens when a strong therapeutic relationship is built. My experiences in connecting with different people (and myself) through counseling have shown me how impactful creating a safe and therapeutic space for people can be. Because everyone is different, I like to let my clients take the lead.
