On the outside, everything may look fine, but inside, you feel overwhelmed and emotionally drained. You're doing your best to hold it all together, but it feels like you're slowly unraveling. The challenges you're facing may feel so heavy, as if you're drowning under the weight of it all. Maybe you're struggling with personal obstacles that feel impossible to overcome. Maybe your child is exhibiting behaviors that leave you feeling helpless and exhausted. Whether you're trying to return to a time when life felt manageable, or you're hoping to experience those feelings for the first time, I will walk with you on that journey.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist with a passion for supporting children, teens, and adults. Areas of focus include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I provide play therapy for children ages 5 and older, offering a developmentally appropriate space for healing and growth.
I’m here to help you create the change you want to see in your life. As your therapist, I offer a space grounded in genuine listening, compassion, and zero judgment. Simply by landing on this page, you’ve already taken a courageous first step. When you're ready, reach out by phone or email. I’d be honored to walk this path with you.
