I am passionate about using creative modalities to help clients find themselves and grow. My work primarily focuses on children, adolescents, and young adults, utilizing Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and EMDR to provide accessible ways to communicate and process life’s challenges.

I have extensive experience and training in trauma-informed care and helping families heal from traumatic experiences. My goal is to help families learn to communicate effectively and treat one another with kindness.

  • ADHD

  • PTSD & Dissociative Disorders

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Depression and other mood disorders

Additionally, I assist individuals and families in navigating:

  • Bullying and Stress Management

  • LGBTQ+ experiences, Gender Identity, and transgender healthcare support

  • Divorce coping (for children) and Trauma

  • Social Skills, Self-esteem, and Anger Management

  • Parental skill education and support


Therapeutic Approach

My approach centers on creating a non-judgmental environment where clients and families can tell their stories in the way that is most comfortable for them. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and have experience working with individuals from many different backgrounds.

My professional focus and personal philosophy incorporate:

  • Mindfulness and Radical Self-Acceptance

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
