Accepting clients in person or virtual! I believe everyone has within them the strength, ability, and desire to fulfill his or her own potential. My job as a therapist is to help you to recognize, find, and unlock your inner strengths through the therapeutic and self-discovery process. If you or a loved one are struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, impacted by a recent or prolonged trauma, or are just having difficulty navigating through the daily stresses of life, I can help. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and safe haven environment for your journey of self-discovery and growth. Telehealth Available
Play is the natural language for children to explore, express, and experience. Through play therapy, I support children as they work through trauma and hardships and regain their self- confidence. I create a safe place for children, adolescents, and young adults to express their experiences and their emotions.
I work with children as young as 5, teenagers, and adults of all ages. Let me help instill hope and positive change in your life.
