Great to meet you!

Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.

My approach to therapy

I work with individuals who are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, and reactions to trauma. Couples learn to speak each other's language and communicate respectfully. I am specialized at using the child's language of play to help them resolve their issues. I have two support groups.

What you can expect from me

Taking the initial step to call can be difficult. It's scary to reach out for support, especially if it hasn't been there in the past. Those feelings of doubt usually go away after making that call and beginning to tell your story. Begin your healing and personal growth, call today for a free consultation.
