Therapist Overview
Life can be messy and meeting the client where they are, as well as building a trusting relationship is important to me. I provide play therapy and counseling services for children, adolescents, and families. I now offer co-parenting for divorced/separated families to improve relationships and provide a functional environment for the whole family. I am a Registered Play Therapist and use both nondirectional and directional techniques to assist children. A child’s natural communication is play, I feel working with them where they are comfortable provides a better vehicle for change. I am also AutPlay certified and have play therapy methods to reach those children who fall on the spectrum. Although I have extensive training in Play Therapy, I enjoy working with a variety of clients. I am very goal oriented, and that is how I assist my clients as well. We have all been broken, seeking help and guidance sometimes is the hardest, first step.
