As a passionate mental health professional, I seek to provide creative and exploratory therapeutic practices to help children and adolescents blossom. I empathetically hold space for children to feel their emotions and make sense of their world. I seek to enhance their brain/body connections to aid in healthy development while healing from past experiences. My approach is playful and child-directed, empowering my clients in the therapeutic process.

I work with clients ages 2-21 from diverse backgrounds who need support in areas of grief, school adjustment, executive functioning, anxiety, ADHD, depression, behavior management, friendships, and family transitions. I am ready to help your child feel safe to work through life’s challenges. Walking alongside my clients, we can get through tough situations and circumstances together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and certified school counselor. My extensive experience in education is helpful as we work through challenges in the school environment. I integrate play therapy, art therapy, CBT techniques, and mindfulness into my work. It’s an honor to be welcomed into a child’s innermost world. I thrive from these shared moments of awareness, and connection. It’s in these moments that children transcend past adverse experiences and their resilient nature shines brightly. I welcome opportunities to collaborate with your family and move towards wellness and healing.
