I see how heartbreaking it can be to watch your child struggle with anxiety, big emotions, or challenges that seem too heavy for their small shoulders. As a parent, you may feel worried, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to help—and that can feel incredibly lonely. You're not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this on your own. I'm here to support you and your family with care that’s compassionate, practical, and grounded in what works. As a licensed mental health counselor, I work with children as young as 4 years old, as well as parents and adults healing from trauma, using an approach that’s both gentle and evidence-based.
My background includes work in diverse settings—University of Rochester Pediatrics collaborating with schools and community agencies. These experiences give me a well-rounded perspective on the emotional and behavioral challenges individuals and families face. I specialize in play therapy to help children express emotions and build confidence.
I also work closely with parents to strengthen connection and share tools they can use beyond sessions. For adults, I offer trauma-informed care to ease anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and to support healthier relationships. If desired, I integrate Christian faith into therapy, always honoring each person’s unique values and beliefs.
