Our clinicians incorporate a variety of counseling styles to best fit the needs of you and your child, including play therapy techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or parent coaching (to name only a few). We are a neurodiversity-affirming practice and work to find the strengths of each client to help them build the skills they need for success.

I believe children have an innate ability to grow in a positive direction. The child-therapist relationship is the element that encourages healing, where the child feels safe, supported, and is able to make those changes that lead to growth through exploring self (experiences, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors). When we meet a child's need, rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom. I focus on possibilities, strengths, and value differences through direct and indirect practices.

Being a mom is agonizing when your child’s struggling. You’ve done your best and don’t know what else to do. Love mixes with pain and it feels like your heart is breaking. Sometimes kids get clinging, tearful and whiny. Sometimes they get rude and disrespectful. Sometimes they meltdown because they can’t hold it together. Sometimes they’re anxious and sometimes they’re depressed. Whatever you’re facing, it’s hard. I remember. I’m a mom. I got the looks, the unkind remarks in the grocery store. It hurt. There were times when I lost my temper and felt the mom guilt. And I discovered a way to alter the course of our story for good.

Does your child struggle with managing emotions? Are lagging social skills, anxiety, or acting out behaviors interfering with daily life? Are you feeling overwhelmed and at a loss for how to help? After spending 18 years as an early childhood educator in a local public school district, I transitioned to clinical therapy in order to work with families more directly in support of social/emotional skills and mental health. Counseling is a great opportunity for exploration and growth.

If you are tired of feeling stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious or just unsure of where your emotions are, therapy can help! Ruminating, negative and intrusive thoughts can control our lives and make us feel helpless. Therapy can help with recognizing these thoughts and emotions and what they mean to you. "Knowing yourself" is the goal in treatment, so you can understand the feelings and reactions to improve your self-esteem, coping skills, and feelings of self-worth. I enjoy working with people of all ages, including children 8 and up to do all of this. Everyone can benefit from a therapeutic relationship. Let's do this.

As a society we are challenged by an overwhelming amount of expectations and stressors placed on us by the world. Anxiety is very real and many have experienced trauma or have their own struggles with depression. Reaching out for help is an act of courage and humility. Forsythe Wellness takes a Functional Medicine approach, viewing the mind and body as working together. This means looking at every area of a person's life to understand and address the root causes underlying the symptoms. Using a unique person-centered approach for each client, we will focus on impacting long-term change. Therapy takes place in a variety of settings.

I know that asking for help can be a difficult process especially when it comes to the mental health of your child. We have all had times in our lives when we and/or our kids needed extra support to be healthier. I am a Private Practice Therapist and a Registered Play Therapist (aka: I have a lot of training and experience counseling kids). I enjoy helping kids who struggle with attachment issues and/or have experienced trauma which is why I am trained in the two evidenced based trauma therapy treatments (TFCBT and EMDR) and in Theraplay Level 1 to grow relational attachment. Many of my clients are foster care or adopted kids.
