You feel alone and lost, using all your effort to not lose control. Trauma can hold you back, preventing you from living in the present, but it doesn't have to stay that way. You can create the life you want, and we can make that happen together! Humans don’t exist in a vacuum- we all need support, encouragement, and a nonjudgmental listener. That’s the foundation of our work together. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, welcoming environment for you to foster growth and healing.

My approach to counseling for adults and play therapy for children is nonjudgmental, supportive, and often fun. I believe interacting with the world through joy and humor lets us build healing connections with others. I have 11 years of experience helping families of kids ages 2-12 with skill building to become confident, peaceful, and connected.
