My journey toward a counseling career began when my first-born entered kindergarten and we found that he needed help. As a result, we were introduced to many wonderful doctors, psychologists, and counselors who were there to help and guide us. Among these was a counselor with whom I developed a strong bond. I soon realized our bond was based on the trust we developed. It is a trusting relationship like this that directly impacts the outcome of counseling. To pursue counseling is a courageous move on your part. Congratulations! I am honored to work with you.

Provided with specific toys to use as “words,” a child can process through issues and receive the same encouragement, non-judgment, and opportunities to reflect as an adult would in talk therapy.
After 7 years as a teacher and school counselor, I now serve as a Licensed Professional Counselor. My background is founded on a passion for working with teens, guiding them as they navigate the tumultuous period of adolescence. I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to support personal growth. Older adolescents are offered more privileges in privacy; however, I ensure that parents remain frequently updated and well-informed. Play therapy is also my passion—a research-based modality for working with younger children.
