I personally believe that people are made up of different pieces (culture, experiences, psychological, spiritual, biological, social, etc.) and exist with different systems (families, DHS, school, etc.) that make them unique. My desire is to work with as many different pieces of an individual and with as many systems available to identify strengths and work towards healing. I enjoy doing play therapy with littles (aged 0-5), teens, and families/parents.

I believe that every individual possesses their own inherent strengths and values to live authentically. I believe in the importance of creating an accepting and safe space for all individuals seeking support in navigating their unique life circumstances. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and strengths-based with a focus on the whole person. I use a systemic approach by relating your journey to the larger systems within our world, including family, friends, and community. In my work with children, adults, and families, I use models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), Strategic Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy.

My belief is that therapy is something that should be done collaboratively with clients through their healing process while remaining humbly inquisitive to each client’s unique experience. My goal is to create a safe, brave space for each client to be able to better explore their personal strengths. I hold a strong belief that each individual has the inherent ability within themselves to move toward positive growth. I work to ensure the therapy conducted is both age and developmentally appropriate; play is a child’s language and the toys are their words—I give children a way to best express themselves.

I believe that all individuals hold the key to their own wellbeing, and I aim to unlock that potential. Working from a client-centered, strengths-based, and humanistic approach, I collaborate with my clients to find goals and treatments that fit their unique needs. This flexibility allows my clients to progress at a pace that is comfortable for them, encouraging autonomy and heightened self-awareness. I aim to create a safe and affirming space where my clients feel at ease, and they can be their authentic selves.
