Seeing your kid struggle is one of the toughest things to do as a parent or caregiver. Our children cannot always express their thoughts and feelings through words, and this can lead to frustration and confusion for both parent and child. Children express their thoughts and feelings through play and their toys are their words. When we allow children to play alongside therapeutic interventions, children can tell us so much about what is going on in their lives. Whether your child is experiencing grief, sadness, anxiety, anger, or school problems, they deserve some extra help!

I work exclusively with women and provide a comfortable and relaxed environment. I am a big communicator and work to figure out what therapeutic approach works best for you. I work with ages 13 - 40+ dealing with, but not limited to - eating disorders, anxiety, depression, college transition parenting, life transitions, ADHD, religious trauma, church hurt, deconstruction, identity struggles and life skills. I believe laughter can be just as healing and connecting as tears. So much of the healing process is about being present, taking time to listen, and providing space to be yourself.

I help children, teens, young adults, and adults navigate life’s challenges through a supportive, personalized therapy approach. For children (ages 3–10), I use play therapy to help them express and process their world. I offer caregiver coaching as part of the process—because when caregivers feel supported, kids thrive. I also support teens and adults with trauma, anxiety, OCD, relationship struggles, family dynamics, life transitions, and more. I’m passionate about supporting siblings of those needing extra care due to special needs, health, or other challenges—offering them a space where they, too, feel seen, heard, and valued.

I believe life’s ups and downs give depth and meaning to life, however, as these occur, a person's unique inner rhythm may become unbalanced. If you are experiencing infertility or a medical illness, stress, anxiety, loss, or relationship issues, your life may feel unsettled. Counseling can help calm the chaos by helping you to identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors not serving you well and replace them with healthy productive ones. You can develop acceptance and skills, grieve and process difficult emotions, and problem-solve to move forward in life. We can work together to restore your inner balance and bring you inner peace.
