Are you seeking compassionate therapy for yourself or your child? Look no further! I'm a Registered Play Therapist passionate about helping young children and adults find healing and growth. My journey in social work has taken me through diverse and impactful experiences. With a background that includes domestic violence, sexual assault advocacy, and the child welfare system, I bring a deep understanding of the complex issues individuals and families may face. My commitment to helping others thrive and find healing drives my private practice in Ames.
I specialize in play therapy for children, creating a safe space for self-expression and resilience. For adults, I offer personalized therapy with a client-centered approach. In addition to individual therapy, I focus on aiding parents in understanding their children's needs and the impact of past experiences on their parent-child relationships.
Taking the first step toward healing and growth is courageous. I offer a non-judgmental space to work together to achieve your goals. Contact me today to start your path to emotional well-being and personal development.
