About Me

As a counselor and play therapist, I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is the basis of all that happens in the therapy room. Healing is not one dimensional, it occurs through growth in the areas of thought patterns, emotional experience, physical health, relational experience, systems we are part of, biology, and spirituality. Looking at the whole person is, in my opinion, the only way to change the behaviors and patterns in our lives, relationships, and in our families. My clinical focus is on helping people get unstuck and find lasting change. I specialize in complex trauma and severe mental health challenges, with a particular focus on understanding the underlying reasons behind the behaviors we struggle to change and more importantly, how to move forward.
