I am here to help! Together we can face those challenges and get you closer to your goals.
I believe people strive to live the best life they possibly can. At times, life can throw in a few challenges and reaching out for help is not always easy. I am here to help! Together we can face those challenges and get you closer to your goals. I work with adults, adolescents, children, families, and couples who may have experienced trauma or whom may feel overwhelmed, lonely, hopeless, afraid, worthless, angry or unmotivated. I use play therapy, solution-focused, strengths-based, and person-centered techniques to help people heal and grow. I am also trained in EMDR.
