I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology from Indiana University and my doctorate in counseling psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My doctoral program emphasized multicultural competence and using research to inform practice. Therefore, I use an evidence-based, cultural and trauma-informed approach in therapy.

I believe mental health care works best when it feels like a partnership. I take time to listen, understand your experiences, and involve you in every step of your treatment plan. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and supported while we work together to find the right tools and strategies to help you feel more stable, confident, and hopeful about the future.

If your child is having big feelings, behavior changes, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, or challenges in relationships, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next. I work with young children, adolescents, and caregivers to help children feel more connected, understood, and supported. My specialty is early childhood mental health, with a focus on children from birth to age 12. I use play therapy, sandtray therapy, EMDR, and parent support to help children process difficult experiences, build emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships at home.

I have spent more than 25 years supporting young children and caregivers in settings focused on development, behavior, attachment, and trauma. Over the past several years, I have also served as a Mental Health Consultant, providing assessment-informed interventions and therapeutic support grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy. My work is warm, relationship-focused, and developmentally appropriate. My goal is to help children and families feel safe, supported, and able to move toward healing.
