With Play Therapy, your child will communicate in his or her natural language - play, in which they express themselves, and work through issues, challenges and traumas in an age appropriate way.
I believe that most people have the ability to overcome their obstacles; however, certain challenges warrant the assistance of a licensed professional counselor. I establish a trusting, professional, therapeutic relationship, which promotes safety and openness. Like a gardener, I cultivate care, empower growth, nurture the root, help restore life, and foster an environment for thriving. I work collaboratively with my clients to promote self-awareness and personal growth. I help clients identify, manage, and improve their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, by integrating approaches in which the client is an active participant.

Does your child have big feelings or behaviors that are hard to understand? Do you need to reflect or explore an aspect of your life that maybe leaving you feel "stuck"? Maybe you've tried everything to connect with your child, your spouse, or yourself.
I'm more than willing to explore what is getting in the way of your desire. What I offer is a safe, non-judgmental space where curiosity and compassion take the lead. My approach is grounded in a deep respect for the validity of each other's experiences and feelings, no matter how challenging they may seem. You make sense!

My specialties include Play Therapy, anxiety, depression, child/adolescent issues, parent education, trauma and abuse, wellness and eating disorder recovery.
I believe that each individual, regardless of age, has the ability to grow and change given the proper tools and support. By providing a meaningful and nurturing environment, I lay the groundwork for personal insight and transformation to occur. I use a non-directive Person Centered Approach to counseling which often involves expressive arts and games. At times, when a more directive approach is appropriate, I use cognitive and/or behavioral techniques.

A few areas that I specialize in are Attachment issues, Adoption, Kinship Care, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Parenting, Behavioral Issues in children, and general Trauma.
I believe that everyone needs someone who will give them a safe, non-judgmental place to work through problems or stresses. I see the role of a therapist as someone who dives into the deep end of your emotions/problems and helps guide you on how to swim your way out. I will be there if you start to drown to help keep your head above water, but I will also help you develop the skills to get out of the deep end and know how to navigate it should you end up there again.
