My Background and Approach
I am trained in EMDR, play therapy, expressive arts such as Sandtray therapy. Before becoming a therapist, I taught middle school and high school, worked as a high school counselor, and volunteered with a pregnancy resource center. I believe every person has unique strengths and gifts and can regain hope and purpose, moving towards achievable personal goals and a more fulfilling life. I aspire to provide encouragement, insight and foster growth in each Client I have the honor to work with.
