What I Believe

Life is not easy.  Having someone to walk alongside you can be extremely beneficial.  My goal is to create a safe space for individuals, families and children to share their story.  By exploring the past or setting goals for the future, I will support you in your journey to a life well lived.

Who I Work With

I am passionate about working with women, parents, teens and children.  I walk alongside women as they struggle with relationships or difficult life transitions.  I assist parents in exploring new techniques for raising their children.  I create safe space for teens to process their daily struggles.  I work directly with children using play to work through trauma or explore behavioral concerns.

Special Interest

I have a strong desire to work with individuals with special needs.  I believe parenting is difficult, and being a parent of a child with any sort of developmental delay adds an extra layer of difficulty.  I am extremely passionate about not only working with these children, but their siblings and parents as well.  I have seen firsthand the numerous roles these parents must play, and witnessed the emotional and physical toll it can take.  It is my goal to create a safe place for families to talk about their frustrations without guilt or fear of judgment.
