You have taken a big step in beginning the search for a therapist and I respect how difficult that can be. At times life can become overwhelming and confusing and sometimes we need to step back and talk it out without fear of judgement or consequences. I believe creating a safe and collaborative environment is essential to moving forward and reaching personal goals that my clients set. I bring a unique perspective from my experience in a school setting working with children and adolescents in understanding how school life can impact family life, and vice versa.
I am a board certified, licensed professional counselor as well as a certified elementary school counselor. I hold a certificate in play therapy and use multiple modalities of treatment based on what fits my clients needs the best.
Please feel free to visit our website and to reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you.
