Life can feel overwhelming—for you or your child—and it’s not always clear where to start. Maybe your child is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, or behavior that doesn’t make sense. Maybe you feel stuck or exhausted, carrying experiences that still feel heavy. You don’t have to do this alone. I offer a calm, supportive space where we gently understand what’s underneath and work toward lasting change. Together, we look at both what’s happening now and the deeper “why,” so healing feels meaningful, not temporary.
I specialize in trauma and attachment and use EMDR to help process experiences that feel stuck. With children, I integrate play therapy, sand tray, and creative approaches so they can express what they don’t yet have words for. With adults, I provide a supportive space to process, rebuild, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I take a neurodiversity-informed approach, honoring differences in how people think and experience the world. Therapy is adapted to fit you. For clients who desire it, I can thoughtfully integrate faith. If you’re looking for a warm, understanding place to begin healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
