I am passionate about working with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, anger, behavioral issues, ADHD, sensory processing issues, bullying, or low self-worth. I have been working with children, teens, adults, and families in various settings for 25+ years. Most of the clients I work with are between the ages of 3 to 13. The majority of the statements or concerns I hear are my child is very strong willed, struggling with impulsivity, spiraling with anxious thoughts, or is easily overwhelmed. I also provide compassion and support for parents on this journey with their child.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In private practice, my approach to treatment is integrative; I am an advocate for play, art, music, & expressive-based therapy for young children & a strengths-based approach and evidence-based practice modality for youth & adults. I have training in Theraplay, sand tray therapy, play therapy, CBT, TF-CBT, and DBT.
Making the first phone call for counseling can be an overwhelming one. My hope is to create a space that feels friendly, warm, and welcoming from our very first conversation. I am professional, empathetic, encouraging, & a parent too. I believe it is integral for you to be able to tell your story. I will help you discover your strengths in life's challenges.
