My education and training specialized in Play/Activity Therapy with children.
I felt it was important to focus my specialization on working with children, because I understand how important it is to build good mental health foundations at a young age. However, I strive to work along the entire lifespan, because I believe that it is important for everyone to experience their own counseling journey at their own time. Some of my experiential training was during the COVID pandemic and provided me greater knowledge on the benefits of telehealth for some clients and the importance of personal connection.

I received my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have experience in working with children, teens, and adults experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, text anxiety, grief, eating disorders and even substance abuse.
Do you feel as though you will never have a healthy relationship: with your family? with your significant other? with yourself? with food? Do you struggle to love and appreciate the person staring back at you in the mirror? Do you feel stuck in habits that result in self-sabotage and feelings of shame? Do you feel unworthy or undeserving of stability or contentment, so you turn to unhealthy eating patterns, toxic relationships, or substances? Maybe the trauma you have experienced has not been managed effectively and you don't have the tools to heal and feel relief.

I have also worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide-range of diagnoses.
Life has its ups and downs and sometimes talking with someone else can provide a new outlook and comfort. I believe that through the therapeutic relationship individuals can receive the support they need to help them through the up and down moments of life. I focus on what each individual client needs and desires to change in the therapeutic setting. I work from a primarily Cognitive-Behavioral perspective, focusing on the link between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as it pertains to current symptoms and behavioral presentation. Therapy is a personal and individual journey, but I believe the journey does not have to occur alone.

I have also worked with children in the educational system and have knowledge in schools and appropriate supports and accommodations. Due to the nature of teletherapy, older children and teens would benefit most from online therapy, as well as their parents/guardians.

Reach out for a consultation and let me know how I can help you, your child or a family member on their desired journey.
Children often do not have the words to express what they are thinking or feeling. Traditional talk therapy alone is rarely successful in helping children process difficult life situations. I help children overcome anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I also assist parents in building strong, open relationships with their children. If your child is going through anxiety, sadness, behavior problems, social issues, or life changes (divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.) I am happy to walk along side them in their journey. In addition to working with children, I also see teens and adults.
