*Immediate availability* I help children , teens, adults, and families by providing the opportunity to be heard and accepted. I specialize in individuals with behavioral issues, parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, communication problems, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I desire to join others on their journey to discover the skills, confidence, and personal strengths needed for desired change and the establishment of healthy and effective relationships. I aim to establish personal well-being through improving one's ability to cope.

Imagine...feeling more connected and better able to communicate with your child . Perhaps the daily stresses have been piling up and your family needs support to re-balance. Maybe you are worried about your child and you need an experienced therapist to help problem solve. I have worked for over 20 years with children under stress due to school issues, divorce, family crisis, separation or deployment. I utilize a combination of play therapy, mindfulness and CBT to promote changes in thinking and behavior. Play therapy can especially benefit traumatized children , as it allows them to process the trauma at their own pace.

Life can be overwhelming, but you are not alone. I will walk with you through the storms and together we can navigate through them. If you have had trauma, difficulty with life transitions, physical and/or sexual abuse, depression or anxiety that is hindering your growth today counseling can help alleviate the “heaviness” of the difficult emotions and situations to heal. Since everyone is unique in how they process emotions from life’s experiences, I tailor my approach to the individual and their needs. Together we work to get you where you want to be.
