In today’s rapidly changing world, the growth journey from childhood to adulthood can be challenging and stormy at times. Especially when there are chronic issues, escalating symptoms or sudden life changes, adults caring for children may find themselves in the vulnerable position of seeking assistance outside of their direct circle of support. As a counselor by nature, I have spent my career passionate about strengthening families and helping youth to flourish in the midst of difficult life circumstances. I specialize in the common challenges of childhood/adolescence/young adulthood and offer parent support services as well.
With a background in child development, attachment and play, I incorporate a play-based and expressive approach to therapy where clients can safely explore their inner world and express the language of the heart. I am also a trained parent consultant and have found great success working with parents in the process of therapy to maximize therapeutic gains.
I am a relationship-oriented person who aims to provide a judgment-free atmosphere of warmth and safety. In this environment I have witnessed repeatedly that change and healing are always possible. I believe in the power of hope and I invite you to contact me to discuss how we can work together to bring out the potential in you, your child or your family.

Groups
Parent Support Group

Children are meant to be raised within a village, yet so many of today's parents find themselves feeling alone and overwhelmed. I offer parent and caregiver support sessions in which successes are celebrated, frustrations are voiced, and the village that is lacking for so many is cultivated. Topics of focus are dependent upon client need and interest, and the support I offer draws heavily from my faculty involvement at the Neufeld Institute (www.neufeldinstitute.org). The group atmosphere is warm and welcoming and is appropriate for adults who care for children in any capacity.
