I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Brainspotting Consultant with a deep passion for helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges. My approach is rooted in compassion, resilience, and holistic healing, ensuring that each client feels supported in their journey toward emotional well-being.

My Approach

I believe in the power of a strength-based, integrative approach to therapy that honors the mind-body connection. One of my specialties is Play Therapy, a child-centered technique that allows children to express themselves naturally through play, art, and storytelling. I am a StoryPlay practitioner, using this approach to help children discover their inner strengths and process emotions in a way that feels natural to them.

In addition to Play Therapy, I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and Consultant, using this powerful neuro-experiential technique to help individuals overcome trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, and medical challenges. My work extends to guiding and training other therapists in Brainspotting certification.

My Personal Journey & Specialty Areas

I have a personal and professional commitment to supporting individuals facing serious medical illnesses, chronic pain, and medical trauma. My passion for this work stems from my own experience as a child diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, a journey that shaped my understanding of resilience, trust, and emotional healing. Having spent years working within an integrated health model, I recognize the deep connection between emotional and physical well-being. I specialize in working with children navigating chronic illness and medical trauma, parents balancing caregiving responsibilities, families adjusting to life-changing diagnoses, individuals seeking mind-body healing for emotional and physical distress, and everything in-between.

Why I Love This Work

I truly love what I do. Every day, I witness the resilience of children, the transformation of families, and the breakthroughs of adults reclaiming their inner strength. Whether through Play Therapy, Brainspotting, or holistic counseling, my goal is to

create a safe, supportive space for healing and growth.

If you or your child are navigating emotional challenges, medical trauma, or simply seeking a compassionate space to heal, I am here to help.

Let’s work together—through it all.
