As a registered play therapist, I utilize child- centered play therapy. This is an effective approach that allows children to process challenges and communicate using their natural language of play. Play therapy is a process in which children are given the opportunity to work through past or current difficulties. I utilize techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with adolescents and adults to help individuals address current thought patterns and develop positive coping skills. In addition to training and experience in a variety of therapeutic treatment modalities, I draw from my training as a certified yoga teacher.

One of the greatest challenges of life is finding peace within yourself, when one is challenged by depression, anxiety, abuse or trauma that peace can sometimes feel unattainable. This is why finding the "Right" therapist can be a task in itself. As for myself, I believe that "Normal" only exist on a washing machine & finding the "Right" therapist can be just as important as finding the perfect time to pursue that peace.

Pain can lead to the most profound feelings of isolation and hopelessness. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples, helping people during the most vulnerable times in their lives and have seen first hand how unresolved and damaged relationships have negatively impacted people and caused pain. One of people's biggest regrets at end-of-life are the relationships they have neglected. One of my greatest passions is working with individuals and families to address hurts and impasses: being both witness and participant.

How do you care for yourself? How do you deal with adversity especially when your struggling? All of us have a tendency to latch on to reasons of why we do what we do, but sometimes these reasons aren’t always true and can actually cause us and those we love more suffering. I look forward to working with you on any issue, in a safe confidential space. I have a collaborative style that focuses on the goals of healthy processing, empowerment, and self-sufficiency.

Overthinking and feeling overwhelmed interfere with our ability to maximize our potential and can prevent us from enjoying life. The persistent worry and physical symptoms can manifest into intrusions in our daily living and it that can feel quite suffocating. Whether these symptoms are brought on by a significant change or work/school stress, the struggle can feel all-encompassing and is a difficult journey to venture through alone. I work to help you identify the unhealthy patterns and develop lasting relief.

I have worked with children, teens, parents and teachers for over 15 years.
Are you, your teen, or your child feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or the weight of past experiences? Maybe you find yourself overthinking, feeling disconnected, struggling in relationships, or wondering why you react the way you do. If you have been trying to hold everything together on your own, you do not have to do it alone. I believe every symptom has a story. Anxiety, overwhelm, emotional numbness, and feeling "stuck" do not happen in isolation. They are often your mind and body's way of asking for care, understanding, and healing.

You are not here by accident. What feels like anxiety, trauma, or inner conflict is often the result of patterns pulling you out of alignment with your own path. You are not broken. These patterns were once adaptive, but now they interfere with your movement forward. Through EMDR and integrative therapy, we reduce their charge, loosen old emotional structures, and help your nervous system release what it has carried for too long. This work is not about forcing change. It is about removing interference so clarity can return, and life can begin to move with greater ease, direction, and intention. So you can follow your path with ease.

You don't get a rule book on how to manage everything life throws at you. Sometimes you need some help. I work with adolescents (age 8+) and adults that want to understand their neurodiversity, build coping skills, and process unhealed trauma. For adolescents and teens, this often means managing the pressures of school, friendships, and identity, while learning how to express emotions in healthy ways. Adults I work with may be navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or past hurts that still impacts their daily lives. I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent individuals and love helping my clients grow.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
