My passion is to help kids, teens and families feel more peace, joy and confidence in their lives again. I have helped children and adults since 2003 with specialized training in play therapy, family counseling, and addiction recovery as well as utilizing best evidence-based practices, including EMDR, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapies. Sometimes, we just need a safe place to express our feelings, stress, grief, insecurities and fears. Our kids need it. Our partners need it. We all need it sometimes. Let me help you rebuild connections and communication and find a better way to tackle this stage of life challenge.
As a Registered Play Therapist - Supervisor (RPT-S) and member of the national Association for Play Therapy, I have extensive training and experience working with childhood and adolescent issues. I use experiential therapies such as sand tray and EMDR, to help all ages express feelings when they need more than traditional talk therapy.
"I feel so much better." That's what I hope you will say when you go through the counseling process. If you have past unresolved issues, current relationship challenges, or anxiety about the future, let's figure it out together. Along with my therapy dog, Bobby, we care that you find the best resources to help you and your family along your journey to peace.
