I combine play therapy, which utilizes children's natural means of self-expression, with cognitive behavioral techniques, to give children tools for adjusting to change, expressing feelings, and gaining confidence.
Adult clients come to me when feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed. Others are coping with life changes, relationship issues, trauma, or loss. I strive to be an honest, accepting, and active partner in your journey to greater fulfillment. Using a variety of approaches, I support my clients to gain insight and self-acceptance, to navigate life transitions, to deepen relationships, and to make meaning from loss. Therapy is self-care. Now is the time to seek the support you deserve. Give me a call, email, or check out my website. Let's get started.

Whether you're looking for talk therapy, play therapy, or putting together a coping skills toolbox, we can discuss a plan for addressing identified issues to support the best possible outcome.
Whether you're looking for support for yourself or someone else, this is an important first step in figuring out who you can trust. It's not a simple decision and reading a profile is only a slight glimpse into who I am as a provider. I get it.
