About My Clients

Parenting today can be hard, and it can be heartbreaking to see your child struggle. Do you find yourself wondering why your child or teen won't talk with you? Does your child seem irritated all the time, throwing tantrums, or melting down? Kids who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or other childhood concerns can feel like they are crying out to you for help. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed. You don't have to navigate this alone. Let's bring peace and joy back to your story.

My Background and Approach

I understand children, teens, and families. My experience has involved 30 years in education working with youth K-12. I have been a teacher, school counselor, school leader, and specialist. I have extensive training in trauma counseling, play therapy, CBT and faith integration.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In helping children and adolescents, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Understanding their needs, stories, and concerns allows me to tailor interventions that meet the concerns of my clients and those who support them. I have seen that this is the unique and beautiful work that brings hope, help, and healing to children and families. I provide a confidential space geared toward their unique interests. Together, we work through struggles using play, art, nature, and talk-based strategies to build resilience and strength.
