Couples Therapy
My background in couples therapy is rooted in focused education during my graduate training, along with continued clinical experience supporting partners in building healthier, more connected relationships. I have been working with couples of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. I have identified a more specific and structured way of treatment to effectively provide support and skills. All of this I share during sessions, as a way to help couples improve for their futures.

Child Led Play Therapy & Parenting
I bring over 10 years of experience working with children, with training in child-led play therapy, allowing me to support younger clients in a developmentally appropriate and effective way. I additionally have even more experience working directly with parenting around challenges, perspectives and skills to help their families. I have extensive knowledge around child developmental milestones, including emotional, intellectual and mental needs based on ages. I can help with difficult behaviors to typical next steps in growth. Further, I always enjoy working collaboratively with kids and parents, to help identify styles, methods, positivity and skills to improve their relationships and trust.
