More about me.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I hold a certificate in play therapy—predominantly using Child-Centered Play Therapy—and am actively working towards becoming a Registered Play Therapist (RPT). I primarily use a humanistic approach with Person-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). When working with families I utilize Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT). As an EMDR trained therapist, I use EMDR to explore and reprocess trauma related memories and the stories they tell.

I love working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. Acceptance, empathy, and respect, I believe, are the core values necessary when establishing a safe space to process the challenges you are experiencing. I understand that it may be hard for you to open up when there’s a history of trauma, mistrust, or damaged relationships however, together, we can discover your natural ability that fosters the change you seek.
