Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained? Are you struggling with anxiety, finding it hard to relax and enjoy your daily life? Perhaps you’re carrying the weight of past experiences that still affect you—or you're watching your child struggle and wondering how to help. Whether you’re here for yourself or your child, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I support children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life changes, and more. Using approaches like Play Therapy and EMDR, I help clients process emotions, build coping skills, and feel more confident. I also guide parents in strengthening connection at home.
Asking for help takes courage. Whether you're hoping to better understand yourself, support your child, or move forward with less stress and more clarity—I’m here to walk with you.

In my work with children, I use my experience as a Registered Play Therapist - Supervisor to aid my clients and their families in exploring the problems they're experiencing and gain a greater sense of self-reliance. My work with adults is similar, but typically involves the use of humanistic/person-centered therapy and EMDR to treat a number of challenging issues.
