Great to meet you!

Life can be tough sometimes, whether you're a child struggling in school, a teen feeling overwhelmed, or an adult trying to keep it all together. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can work through anxiety, trauma, depression, or behavioral challenges at your own pace. With over 20 years of experience as a school counselor and mental health professional, I bring a calm, grounded approach to each session. I use tools like CBT, EMDR, play therapy, and client-centered techniques to meet you where you are. Whether in person or through telehealth, I'm here to help you or your child feel heard, understood, and supported.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that therapy should feel like a safe conversation—supportive, honest, and centered around your goals. Whether I’m working with a young child through play therapy, helping a teen manage anxiety, or supporting an adult through trauma or life transitions, I meet clients with warmth, patience, and respect. My approach is grounded in client-centered therapy, which means I listen closely, follow your lead, and work at a pace that feels right for you.

I draw from evidence-based practices like CBT and EMDR to help clients gain insight, develop coping skills, and heal from painful experiences. With a background in school counseling, crisis stabilization, and recovery support, I have a deep understanding of how emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges show up across all stages of life. Whether you're navigating compliance issues with a child, working through depression, or seeking more balance in your relationships, I tailor each session to your unique needs and strengths.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and equipped with tools they can start using right away. I focus on creating a calm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe exploring your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Whether we’re working on managing anxiety, processing trauma, or improving communication, my goal is to help you build confidence, insight, and practical strategies for daily life. For children and teens, I offer developmentally appropriate support that fosters emotional regulation and positive behavior, while helping parents feel more connected and empowered. Every session is guided by your goals—and together, we move at a pace that feels right for you.
