With over 25 years of experience in social work, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families through their challenges. I have my Masters in Social Work-Clinical Practice and have taken extensive training in Play-based therapy.

My practice encompasses children, youth, adults, and caregiver/child therapy. Utilizing play-based interventions combined with various modalities such as art, sand, and play, alongside established approaches such as: - Dialectical Behavioral Therapy -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, -Child-centered Play Therapy, -Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, -Theraplay, -Circle of Security.

Attachment, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Grief and Loss, are some common issues I have worked with.

Attachment is a special interest of mine. I am a Certified Circle of Security Facilitator and can use this individually or in a group format. I also use Theraplay based interventions to strengthen relationships between parents/caregivers and their children. Due to the importance of mental health during and after pregnancy, I am Perinatal Mental Health-Certified.

My approach to therapy values building a trusting relationship – it is the most important thing to me when I am working with any person, of whatever age! Trust takes time, and I am here for the journey. I see therapy like a dance, that ebbs and flows with who leads and who follows, and other times we are side by side facing whatever burdens/stresses that you bring.

I value your feedback and want you to feel safe to tell me how I am doing (good or bad) so that I can make the changes you need to make therapy work for you!

Seeking help can be hard and feel very vulnerable. Know that I am here to help make it easier and do what I can to help you and/or your family heal.

Thanks for taking the time to read about me, my style, and my experience; and thinking if we might be a good match. I look forward to meeting you!
