I began work as a therapist and program director at a local Critical Access Behavioral Health Agency (CABHA) and eventually served as the clinical director for two local CABHAs. I returned to a private practice setting where I continue to provide comprehensive clinical assessments and therapy for children, adolescents, teens, and adults. My therapeutic approach follows that of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person Centered Therapy while also utilizing play therapy tools. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, behavior management, trauma, parenting, crisis intervention, and other disorders of childhood.
