I love being creative with crafts, coffee shops, scary movies, gardening, hiking, playing with my pup, and exploring with my son and husband on adventures together!

About Me

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, EMDR-trained, supporting children (ages 3+), teens, young adults, and parents as they navigate major life changes and emotional overwhelm. I work with concerns such as emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, and trauma—helping families move from stuck to steady.

What I care about most

When a child is dysregulated, it can feel confusing, isolating, and exhausting. My goal is to help children and teens feel truly seen and understood, while also supporting parents with guidance that helps them feel more confident and less alone. You don’t have to carry this by yourself.

My training and experience

I’m trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, and I have extensive experience working with:

• Child crime victims

• Sensory processing and learning difficulties

• Traumatic grief

• Helping families respond to risky teen behaviors

I feel grateful to support clients through meaningful growth, healing, and real progress.

How we’ll work together

I believe therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative and supportive. You are the expert on your own life—my role is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space and offer practical tools, genuine encouragement, and thoughtful guidance as you build greater self-awareness, confidence, and lasting change. My approach is interactive, authentic, and tailored to what you need most.

Focus areas for clients and families

With children and teens, I focus on emotion regulation, processing difficult experiences, and strengthening coping skills and self-confidence. With parents, I provide support and coaching as you handle the daily challenges of raising a child who’s struggling—so you’re not guessing your way through it.

Therapeutic approaches I use

My work may include play therapy, CBT (and trauma-focused CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and client-centered therapy—chosen collaboratively based on your goals.

Taking the step to begin counseling takes courage. I value vulnerability and work hard to ensure therapy feels welcoming, respectful, and healing for everyone who walks through the door.
