Welcome, I'm glad you are here. Taking the step to begin therapy—whether you’re seeking support for yourself or for your child—is meaningful, and I honor the courage it takes to reach out. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and that children and young people have an innate capacity for growth when given the right environment. My role is not to direct or fix, but to walk alongside you—offering empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, gently exploring challenges while building on existing strengths.
I work with people of all ages. For children ages 3-11, I use Child-Centered Play Therapy. I include parent consultation sessions for children ages 3-11. For Pre/teen, I use activities and talk therapy. With adults I use Person Centered therapy (talk therapy). I have 6 years of experience working with children, teens, their families and young adults.
An important part of therapy, is the relationship between the therapist and the client. That relationship is built on empathy and trust. If you believe you or your child would benefit from therapy, please reach out to me.
