I use play therapy techniques when working with children.
I have been working with children, preteens, teens, and adults for over 25 years. My areas of expertise include working with youth and adults with anxiety, low self-esteem, poor coping skills, as well as life transitions, family conflicts and parenting challenges. My root philosophy is cognitive-behaviorally based (our thoughts & behaviors are connected and affect each other). I use an eclectic approach using tools from a wide range of theories. I'm committed to treating the whole person and not just a diagnosis or label.

Therapy can provide children and teens a safe and supportive setting to learn to identify and express their emotions, make progress with social integration, growth and development. They have the opportunity to develop skills to more effectively manage their social and emotional challenges that impact their interactions with others. Parents strive to create happiness in the lives of their children. In my practice, they will learn to identify their strengths, become more confident in their ability to work through their emotional challenges, improve their social skills, increase self-awareness and develop a more positive sense of self.

I see children, adults, and families.
I find that a client is best served when they are listened to, validated, but also challenged to make positive change. That is why I take a cognitive behavioral approach to the counseling I do. Whether the client is a child or adult we all have the ability to learn from the past and make different choices for the future.

If you're struggling with relational challenges, childhood trauma, divorce, & ready to make positive changes, we can work together to identify family-of-origin & generational patterns holding you back.

At times, we find ourselves in seasons of life where we may feel disoriented and easily overwhelmed. We can begin questioning ourselves and wondering if we’ve chartered off course or lost our way. During challenging times, it can be easy to feel overburdened by heavy emotions, intrusive thoughts, and the simple tasks of everyday life. Navigating relationships, careers, finances, and other responsibilities can pile up and take their toll on our well-being.
