I started Summit Counseling in 2015 with the goal to help more individuals, families and couples face life's struggles. With experience in both Child Protective Services and Education, I blend a unique approach to people seeking services. Over the last several years, I have helped many families in crisis, adolescents struggling with their own development and couples facing the challenges of raising children and maintaining a loving family.

From a humanistic foundation and with an emphasis on experiential methods, I help children, tweens, teens, and adults grow through their experiences and discover new ways of being.
Before you read on, take a moment to breathe. Inhale slowly, breathing in through your nose, filling your chest with air. Notice your chest rise, expanding until it feels tight. Now hold that breath; hold it for just a few beats… And release. Release all that air in one long slow breath out through your mouth. Notice your shoulders droop and your mind clear, ever so slightly. This might the first full breath you’ve taken in a long time. And it’s no wonder why: life can overwhelm us with so much worry, anger, doubt, shame, and sadness that we feel breathless.

I have almost ten years experience working with children, adolescents, teenagers, and families.
It is my belief that struggles come from not being able to reach our true potential. It is my goal to honor you and your potential, and help you do the same. When we feel nurtured, safe, and supported, we begin to become who we truly can be. I find that resolving one area of difficulty often leads to other difficulties resolving.

Difficult situations of the past can have lasting effects on our futures. You’ve seen this first hand with your child or teen. Their life has been altered at such a young age, and they don’t know how to express their feelings towards it. So they express it by acting out; by being angry, not socializing like they used to, or by breaking the rules. It’s a burden seeing them go through this, and not knowing how to help them.

Play is a critical part of a child’s world, and play therapy is an important part of my work with children.
We all struggle with the ups and downs of life. My passion is working with children (ages 3 and older) and families to promote healthy and happy individuals and relationships. I hope to help my clients enhance their own individual strengths, better their relationships with others, and enjoy the most out of everyday interactions and experiences. Solution Focused and Attachment-Based therapy are the primary approaches I utilize in treating clients. As human beings, I believe we are wired to connect with others and that individual change and healing influences relational change and healing.
