I am not accepting new clients at this time.
We all face challenges in life, some endure more than others, but you're not expected to handle it all on your own. I'm passionate about providing a safe environment that is validating, engaging, and focused on positive change to help both children and adults heal through their own unique therapeutic journey. My purpose includes creating a safe and accepting environment for children and families to grow from and to feel inspired by their own capabilities. I earned my graduate degree at Friends University, and I also have extensive training in the practice of Child-Centered Play Therapy.
Through my own exploration of family history and its impact on our attachment styles, I find meaning in exploring this with my clients through attachment work and emotionally focused approaches. I also use narrative therapy to identify harmful patterns and re-write narratives that are no longer a part of our story. I also utilize child-centered play therapy.
You are so much more than what has happened to you, you are safe here, and you matter. Let me walk beside you, as you create the narrative that you want to live by; not the narrative that is no longer serving you. Book an appointment today via phone, email, or website.
