I am a Mental Health Professional. I have over 10+ years experience working with children. I enjoy supporting children with life transitions, adjusting to school, and managing their big feelings. I also enjoy working with people of all ages who are children at heart!
I draw on my childcare experience to make counseling fun and engaging for children and teens of all ages. For my adult clients, I will work hard to make sessions dynamic and thought-provoking.
In childhood, we begin laying the foundation for what will become our habits, personality and interests in adulthood. Having an unbiased counselor to help when things get rough can be a huge advantage! It would be my pleasure to help your child or you with strengthening skills, emotional intelligence and resilience.

I use an integrative model for therapy, with a person-centered approach underneath it, where I bring in different theories based on what my clients need. One size does not fit all!
