I specialize in the area of play therapy with children and adolescents experiencing trauma, abuse, as well as attachment and bonding difficulties.
Are you feeling hopeless today? Do the stress and anxieties of life feel overwhelming? Is a life trauma or past hurt holding you back from living free? Hope is the power that rallies the survivor to face and overcome all of life's challenges. It is a confident belief that things can and will get better.

I know it is difficult as a parent to find the right fit therapist for your child.
Clients say that I am compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to. Though I enjoy working with adults, I am particularly passionate about working with children and adolescents. But, I have seen the best treatment for children involves the incorporation of the parents in sessions. I strive to help your child but also to create a healthy relationship between child and parent. I aim to encourage and empower each and every one of my clients to achieve their goals. I advocate for therapy being a collaborative effort between the therapist and client, regardless of the client’s age.

You want to feel like partners with your spouse instead of roommates and hold your children close, instead of being too tired.
Many times you think to yourself, "I'm just not happy." The stresses of daily life are overwhelming. You don't recognize the person sleeping next to you, work seems hard at every turn, parenting is difficult and you are tired of being angry. Maybe this feeling has grown over time or has just started to surface. Either way, there's a distance between the person you are and the person you want to be. There is a distance between the relationships you have and want. You just want more. To feel happy again.

Grief, trauma, depression, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, anxiety or panic disorder, substance use, alcohol use, sexual orientation, women’s issues, anger, spiritual or religious afflictions, teenage stressors, child behavior concerns, military transitions, and veteran support are examples that effect our ability to have an even adjustment.
