Living in a rural area, I grew up surrounded by a stigma around mental health needs. My goal is to help dispel that stigma and support anyone who may have mental health needs, especially in my local community. Whether it’s an in-person or tele-health session, you can expect a welcoming atmosphere and a judgment free environment.
I specialize in children and families, but I love working with people of all backgrounds. I worked for many years in LSI’s Early Childhood department as a Family Support Specialist that worked with families and children. I also plan to complete my certification in Play Therapy with a focus in trauma.
Ready to start? Want in person or telehealth services? Reach out today! I can’t wait to hear from you.
