And you deserve it! You are worthy of peace, love, and healing just as you are! I would love to help you figure out your goals and how we can work together to meet them.

Are you tired of those frustrating phone calls from the school saying that your child got into another fight? Or has been suspended again? Are you tired of looking at your child's behavior sheet and seeing multiple numbers circled? If you are tired of your child's color being changed to red or number being change, I understand your frustration. Having 20 years of experience working in the public schools as a Certified School Counselor, Registered Play Therapist, and Special Ed Teacher, I can help.

My practice is geared towards providing counseling services to young children (with a focus on age 2-4), as well as clients recovering from issues related to COMPLEX trauma. (See www.nctsn.org/what-is-child-trauma/trauma-types/complex-trauma). I am a Registered Play Therapist and a Certified Animal-Assisted Play Therapist (accompanied by a therapy dog and a therapy cat.)

I believe in each client’s potential and unique creativity. Your mind and body are designed to heal. I seek to help clients connect and return to the natural and healthy design of rest and digest and grow coping tools when faced with being in a fight or flight mode. Hope is a critical force in the healing process. “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness,” Desmond Tutu. Being able to connect to the present with honesty, transparency, and non-judgment is a key ingredient to understanding oneself and embracing the healing journey.

Are you tired of searching for support only to find more barriers and judgement? Are you seeking a place of peace with a professional who can help you and your loved ones hold the heavy burden of what has happened to you? Have you tried forms of therapy that you heard were the "Gold Standard" and found they didn't work for you as expected? Sometimes our experiences are so heavy and cause us so much pain that it can be difficult to keep going. I offer you and your loved ones a safe place where your hope can be renewed and solutions can be found.

I believe that most people want to learn ways in which they can lessen the amount of stress in their lives. A person's thoughts and feelings can often stay trapped in the negative issues of the past or be pushed forward to the concerns of the future. These two states of mind can invariably lead a person to experience depression and anxiety. Learning new techniques that allow the person to put aside the problems of the past and worries of the future allows the person to fully engage themselves in the present and capture the joys of the moment, bringing a state of happiness to their life.

Do you ever find yourself awake in the middle of the night? Do you often feel that you're talking in circles to your teen? Often do you worry who their friends are? If so I understand, and I can help. Navigating parenting can be difficult.

Everywhere you look everyone seems filled with joy, but you are filled with dread. Going through the motions, putting on a smiling face, covering up that you're barely handling your responsibilities has left you physically and emotionally exhausted. Your life has become an act of pretending everything is fine. But, you know the truth: everything is not fine. You want to change, to feel that spark of joy again, to live life fully and authentically. With each new year, you swear this time will be different. You'll accomplish your goals, you'll do things differently. You'll finally be happy. But how?

An old Chinese Proverb says... "the longest journey begins with a single step." Whether you are battling depression, facing life changes or just need extra support, I welcome you to take that single step in your new journey with me. I counsel individuals ages 18+ who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, relational, grief, and trauma.

Therapy begins the very moment you make the brave decision to step into that unknown to know yourself better and seek wholeness for yourself. Before you even contact the office, you have become a catalyst in an amazing journey by deciding to step and trust someone with your story. It is sacred to share your story and let yourself be known and make your voice heard. I honor that. You are not broken. You are simply open to the possibility of something more. In case no one has told you, I am proud of your brave.
