About My Clients

I firmly believe that a trusting, collaborative relationship is the heart of effective counseling—it is truly where healing begins. I provide neurodiversity-affirming therapy for toddlers through young adults. I specialize in working with anxiety-related issues, as well as neurodivergence (like Autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities).

My Background and Approach

My approach stems from a Person-Centered lens, and I integrate a wide variety of evidence-based techniques aligning with your individual goals. With children, I primarily use Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), which aims to create a consistent & safe therapeutic environment for children to express themselves authentically through play. In 2019, I received my bachelor’s in psychology from the University of Louisville. While there, I worked in an eating disorder research department and also worked as a teacher at an early childhood education center. I then went on to earn my master’s in counseling from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte in August 2023 with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a concentration in Play Therapy.
