The adolescent years are the most vulnerable and exciting years of a young person’s life. I believe that a young woman with a strong sense of self will have the ability to live her happiest and truest life and will make a lasting impact on society at large. However, self discovery can often yield low self esteem, independence can easily shift to rebellion, and a slow maturation process often creates impulsive decision making. When a parent’s warnings and worries don’t seem to have an impact on the teenager’s course, or when it feels too heavy to carry alone, it’s helpful to have another guiding force to help.
I also love working with small children. A child's emotions carry an amazing and natural ability to change and heal with proper care and support. However, children don’t always have the vocabulary or the insight to articulate their emotions in the same way adults do. Play therapy is an amazing resource to support a child through expressing their feelings.
Can you remember the way you felt the last time you walked on the beach or stood on a mountain top, walked through woods or noticed the spring flowers? Eco Therapy is unique way of combining the healing benefits of nature and the growth gained through therapy. Held at Stroud Preserve in West Chester, this therapy offering is available for ages 12+.

I have focused my work on children, adolescents, and their families since I started my career in 2004. I am experienced and seasoned enough to allow parents to easily trust me yet still young and energetic enough to connect with kids. I love my job and feel honored to work with families.

I love being part of a young person's growth and development. I am here to help them learn the language of feelings, understand their bodies and their emotions, and teach them how communicate what they think and feel to the people they trust in their real life. The better a parent and child understand each other, the quicker healing and growth happen.
