Therapist Overview
Being a kid is hard! I love helping kids and teens find confidence within themselves to navigate the anxiety and pressure of school. Often times, my clients struggle with expressing themselves in healthy ways. They may be withdrawing from their families or hiding in their rooms. Counseling is a great outlet for discovering new coping skills and healthy communication. I also enjoy working with young children using play therapy to work through any behavioral problems at school or home. I am trained in EMDR and play therapy, both of which can be an natural way to help kids express themselves in a way that feels less threatening. It’s a way to open up and explore the emotions that may be overwhelming. My therapy dog, Linus, loves helping kids feel more comfortable in counseling. It can be so painful to watch your child struggle. My passion is helping kids and supporting families in this journey to a happier kid!
