I believe we are all different by design and I enjoy partnering with parents to help children like yours who may be struggling with issues like emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, attention, and relationships at home, school, and/or community. Seeing children struggle turned my pain into passion for working with children and their families. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider (CIMHP), I love working with children with ADHD, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and trauma backgrounds. I engage children in therapeutic approaches like play, art, and trauma informed approaches to take the “heaviness” away from the therapeutic process. I am excited to partner with you to see how we can go work together to go from chaos to connection and from surviving to thriving!
