This has allowed me to guide children, and their families to focus on their strengths in order to face challenges.
All people deserve to feel loved and connected to others. Is there an obstacle or roadblock that gets in the way of this connection? Perhaps your mind gets clouded with self-doubt, fear, negativity, and self-defeating behaviors. Together we can work towards a life of growth and healing.

My ideal clients are, but not limited to, children, teens, adults, and families both in and out of fostercare and/or who have been adopted.
I provide my clients with a Person-centered and Strengths-focused form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Change depends on the relationship formed in the counseling office. If it is a positive relationship where both of us contribute to the overall goal, then positive change will flourish.

I also offer play therapy for children ages 3-10.
I am guided by relational-cultural theory which believes that we grow through and towards connection with people in our lives. Part of my role as a therapist is to create a safe space where my clients can learn and practice how to do just that - engage in a relationship characterized by mutual empathy, respect, and influence.

This is accomplished through assisting children, parents, families, adolescents, and adults in taking charge of their mental health by providing counseling services to relieve emotional distress centered around family systems.
Things may feel hard right now, and you're not sure who to turn to. I know how hard it can be to feel overwhelmed with anxiety and stress. You might be looking to find emotional relief, a greater sense of joy in your life, connection with your loved ones, and control over your life. You may be experiencing multiple life changes. Maybe you are a parent of a preteen or teen who just seems to struggle with getting back into the swing of things at school and want them to have a trusted adult to talk to. I'm also trained in accelerated resolution therapy (ART), which I use to help people gain relief from unwanted thoughts and trauma.

For more than 10 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and couples in churches, schools, hospitals and private practice as a teen parent educator, teacher, school counselor (duties: 504 Coordinator, RTI/IAT Liaison, Crisis Team Manager, and Behavior Specialist) and a licensed therapist.
Are you experiencing a lack of direction in life? Feeling stuck? Is parenting harder than expected? Concerned with your childs' education? Are you completely confused by a diagnosis or mental health concern? When we feel a lack of control over our circumstances, people often bombard us with cliches like “Life is what you make it," or simply tell us to "Get over it!” as if we aren't trying. This usually make us feel worse or unheard and it also does not help even when they mean well by it. It’s rare that the average person listens to us, validates us, AND helps us process what’s happening so that we can wholeheartedly move on.
