Welcome! Needing some extra care, connection, perspective, and resources at times in our lives is part of the human condition, and therapy can be one of the best places to find that support. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist with 20 years of experience working with a wide range of ages and stages. Whether I’m on the floor playing with a child, helping a teen find her confidence, or supporting women juggling it ALL, my goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
As a mom of 4 kids ranging from 16 to 21, I understand both the joys and struggles of parenting. I have personally experienced the power of therapy, both in my own self-care and as a worried mom seeking help for my child. These profoundly positive experiences shaped me as a person and as a professional who deeply desires to offer the same care to others.
The relationship between therapist and client is the most important predictor of success in therapy. That is why my commitment is to build a trustworthy, supportive, and confidential space while using research-based approaches tailored to your needs. Let me know what questions I can answer to see if I might be the right fit for you or your family!
