Everyone has a story to tell.

My Approach

When supporting all clients, I work from a Person-Centered approach and truly believe that the relationship between client and clinician is the most important factor for client growth. Each client can choose where they would like to take their sessions to best serve their needs. With clients of all ages, I am passionate about utilizing: expressive arts, sand tray, and mindfulness. At times, I utilize elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as well.

Children

With children, ages 3 and up, I specialize in the use of Child-Centered Play Therapy, a developmentally appropriate therapeutic technique that allows children to express themselves using toys and play within an intentionally created playroom. This approach allows children to gain confidence, process life events, develop personal responsibility, and learn limits. When appropriate, I will also integrate directive Play Therapy techniques, expressive arts, coping skills work, and psycho-education with children as well.

Teens

When working with teens, I provide a non-judgemental supportive space for clients to process through difficult emotions and develop skills to manage stressors.

Adults

When working with adults, I welcome clients to explore their life experiences and current concerns. Together, we will make connections leading to greater understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and actions leading to a deeper acceptance of yourself.

Parents

You know the parent you would like to be, but you aren’t sure how to get there? I help parents gain a better understanding of behaviors in themselves and their children. I’m here to support you in processing family dynamics to create a more positive home environment. I help parents identify concrete strategies for responding to their own triggers to increase positive parent/child dynamics. 

Perinatal/Postpartum

Being a new parent is so hard! Whether you are processing your current or previous pregnancy or birthing experience, working through the difficulties that come with sleepless nights, or developing your identity as a parent. I am here to support and hold space for you during this challenging time. I have specialized training from Postpartum Support International (PSI) that guides my work with new parents.
