Life's journey is full of detours, bumps, and obstacles. Seeking guidance allows for support through these challenging times. In addition to traditional therapy, I can provide animal-assisted therapy and enjoy working with animals as part of the therapy process. My dog Lana, a golden retriever, is presently in training to become a therapy dog. When Lana’s training is complete, we will be a therapy team providing animal-assisted therapy and animal-assisted play therapy. There is a body of research supporting animals in therapy to enhance physical, emotional, and social well being, and I strive to do just that.

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and self-actualization. We are the best experts on ourselves and have tremendous capacity for change. However, sometimes we don't know how to put that potential to use. Sometimes, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem can keep us from coping with circumstances or trusting our abilities. We feel trapped, overwhelmed or helpless. But it doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy can provide the support to feel accepted and the confidence to start facing your biggest challenges.

As a therapist, one of the essential parts of my work is to provide hope that there is an opportunity for change in everyone's life through positive relationships. I strive to build therapeutic relationships in a safe space for the clients I work with to promote growth and healing. Each child deserves the opportunity to process their challenging experiences in their own unique way, whether through play or verbalizing their experiences, in an empathetic and supportive space.

I'm accepting new clients. I believe every human wants to belong and seeks connection to others. This can be more challenging for some, causing unnecessary suffering and isolation. I believe that everyone deserves to feel like they belong and can function at their highest potential, regardless of the trauma they endured. I know that bearing your most vulnerable self to a complete stranger can be intimidating but I will provide you with a non-judgemental, compassionate, and caring space for you to do your hard work to achieve your mental, emotional, and social goals.

Utilizing systemic and humanistic therapies, I offer a compassionate space where clients can explore their needs and goals. Together, we will work to foster stronger connections, enhance self-esteem, and improve overall well-being.
