REGISTERED PLAY THERAPIST SINCE 1999. I SPECIALIZE IN AGES 3 TO 9 and work closely with parents providing support and guidance in helping their child during each session. I counsel children , dealing with all issues that are presented in the developmental area of young children . Including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, aggressive behavior, social skills, school and peer issues, sleep and eating issues, fears, defiance, mood changes, sibling issues, parenting support and coaching. I believe that each child and parent(s) are unique and individualize each session.

I feel passionate about helping people have hope for the future. Too often people feel hopeless and helpless when thinking about making changes in their lives. I believe, with a helping hand or fresh perspective, we can all discover the strengths and steps needed to make the changes needed to be happier and healthier.

Do you struggle in your life with strong reactions to events that seem out of your control? Do you find yourself captured by anger, upset, fear, or anxiety? Have you wanted to find a way to take the difficult things that have happened in your life and somehow have them set a foundation for you to have a better, less critical connection with yourself and others around you? I know how hard it is to make real changes that will lead to lasting peace, joy and effectiveness. I also know that it is absolutely possible to change course and rebuild.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a different and fun way to reach children , adolescents, transitional-age youth and adults without the stigma of talk therapy. EAP is an alternative therapeutic approach that addresses mental health concerns and everyday life challenges by teaming up with caring therapists and horses. This type of therapy often reflects clients' verbal and nonverbal strengths and incongruencies while enhancing personal growth and development. This experiential, holistic approach works well with solution-focused therapy (SFT) and other evidence-based treatment modalities, e.g., ACT, EMDR, and CBT.

My areas of specialty include psychological assessment and therapy services for children and adolescents. I complete thorough assessments for ADHD, autism, learning disorders, developmental delays, mood, anxiety, and behavioral disorders. Reports include specific recommendations that emphasize and involve the child 's strengths. In addition, I provide therapy for children and adolescents who are experiencing a variety of emotional and behavioral difficulties.

Sometimes it’s hard for your child or teenager to open up to you. Under the surface, they may be struggling more than it appears. Or their outbursts make it apparent that something is not right. It takes courage to acknowledge that your child is struggling and that you are not able to resolve their issues on your own. It takes even more courage to reach out for help. I can help your child or teenager through traditional talk therapy or play therapy, using a person-centered approach to find and give help for any assessed needs. It takes a village to raise a child , so let me help you with yours.

I provide assessment and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, intellectual disabilities), mood/anxiety disorders, and other psychological concerns.
