Life can be so difficult and painful at times. My passion is in helping people of all ages better know and connect to who they are at their core and find healing from the pain they have experienced. I have extensive training and experience in play therapy for children, supporting teens and young adults in finding their path, and couples therapy. Regardless of age or whether it's individual or couples counseling, it's important to me that I provide a warm, non-judgemental, professional experience of support, guidance, and collaboration.

Whether it’s addressing unhealthy thoughts/ behaviors, better managing emotions/reactions, improving academic/work performance, strengthening relationships, or establishing a more positive outlook, my passion is working with children, adolescents, and adults by meeting them where they are in various aspects of their lives and helping to foster real change.
Often times, people have a preconceived notion of what therapy is, and what it is not, which may raise questions such as "Can therapy truly help me or my loved one?" and “Will my therapist really understand who I am and where I would like to go?”. To those questions, I can say, yes! Therapy is often described as a journey, and getting started can help you or your loved one get to the desired destination. I hope that I can assist in this deep process, especially knowing how scary this can be for so many of all ages!

I personally experienced debilitating anxiety as a child.
My ideal client is the person who feels helpless and hopeless. The child or adult who is anxious and afraid they will never get better. I want to show them that there IS help and hope. They fear they won’t get better, but want to. They are willing to do whatever it takes to get better. Also those dealing with grief. I want to walk with them and guide them in their journey. They will always grieve, but it won’t always consume their lives. The teen girl who is anxious and has low self-esteem. She needs to learn her values and strengths. She will grow to love who she is and not be afraid to be her authentic self.
