I specialize in anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, body focused repetitive disorders, adjustment to life transitions, parenting challenges, trauma, grief, body image issues, and self-esteem challenges. I am currently working toward becoming a registered play therapist, emphasizing the importance of play in a child's development. I am also trained in perinatal mood disorders by Postpartum Support International. I love working with young adults, women, children, and teens, and I offer a Christian faith-based approach to clients who want to incorporate that framework into counseling.
I am trained in Parent child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), PCIT-Selective Mutism adaptation, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, TF-CBT, Habit Reversal Therapy, Play Therapy, trauma, and perinatal mood disorders. I am also a trained facilitator for The Body Project body image group curriculum for teens with body image concerns.
I am committed to supporting families, teens, women, and children as they navigate life challenges with a focus on the different stages of development. My work is characterized by a belief that every client is valuable, loved, and unique. I love connecting with my clients and believe strongly in healing through the therapeutic relationship.

I believe every client is unique and will work with client's to develop treatment goals that target their concerns. When working with children and teens, it is very important to have family involvement and I work closely with parents to support them in helping their child overcome challenges.

I tailor my approach to each client's individual needs. I believe strongly in the power of healing through relationships, and often use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and play. Christian counseling is a framework I utilize for clients who are interested and find great value in incorporating faith in the counseling process.
