As a play therapist, not only am I passionate about working with children and teens, but also adults who would like to explore their inner child to bring creativity, joy, and playfulness back into their lives. I often use art, storytelling, metaphor, or visual aids when appropriate to facilitate growth and learning key coping skills. I have helped many clients grow and move through the lingering effects and pains of trauma or life transitions, whether recent or long buried. I can help in facilitating growth and healing after difficult and often excruciating experiences, while progressing at your pace and comfort level.

Sometimes children go through a tough time or feel overwhelmed, and it has an impact on the whole family. Parents may feel frustrated or confused about how to help their children. They may feel that nothing will change. I partner with children and parents who are struggling with challenging behavior, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and other concerns that are creating a disruption in relationships. Parents want their children to be able to handle life transitions, to heal from trauma they may have experienced, or to handle their feelings better. Children want to feel better, but may not know how.

The relationships we've had throughout our life, combined with life events, impact us in many ways. Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors take root, even from the womb. Our nervous systems can feel taxed. Depression, anxiety and other unhelpful symptoms may arise. Our relationship with self and others may suffer. Many of my clients describe their upbringing as lacking or stressful. Many have experienced sexual, physical or emotional abuse. Others have experienced trauma and loss. I would like to offer hope & healing. Your symptoms make sense and you are stronger than you think. Let me show you how.

Imagine you are the writer. You have all the pieces of your story within you already. Think of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as those pieces. Sometimes, they don’t make any sense, it’s overwhelming, and you don’t know where to begin. That’s where I come in. While I cannot write your story for you, I can be there with you to guide you through the process as you explore and learn more about yourself, reach clarity and understanding, and experience a renewed sense of hope.

Are you asking yourself, "Am I strong enough to get through this?" When life presents us with challenges that seem too difficult to bear, we often get stuck in a mental cycle that repeats, "Life isn't fair." I won't tell you otherwise, but I will help you find the strength to go on anyway. In my work with oncology, grief, trauma, and couples in conflict, I have worked with clients in unimaginable physical and emotional pain. Together, we uncover and process the emotions that cause anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, insecurity, and that sinking feeling that you may never get back to "you."

Telehealth Only! I have one rule in session: We have to laugh at least once. Life is hard, work can be stressful, parenting can be chaotic, relationships can be confusing, and sometimes we are just not okay! Therapy can be a place where you learn more about yourself, your family of origin and the world around you. Even though life is hard we can still have peace. With a mindfulness approach, we can help you find your safe place. We can change how you relate to the world and your suffering in a manner that benefits you. In a life that can sometimes be a rollercoaster, we will work together to handle the ups and downs.
