My Approach to Helping

Do you ever feel as though you need some direction in your life? Could it be you need to figure out where you're going and need some help maximizing your potential and setting attainable goals. What if you're a parent who has a child that displays behavior problems, anger issues, lack of self-esteem, or difficulty concentrating in school. Play therapy and parenting support could be the answer? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist with years of experience in private practice, schools and agencies. I offer individual counseling with children, teens, and adults. My philosophy includes helping individuals identify causes of pain, and discover barriers that interfere with your life. I help to identify areas of weakness and maximize your potential for positive growth and change. With children, I use a wide variety of strategies that go beyond "talk therapy" including toys, books, activities and expressive arts as a means of expression. With teenagers and adults, I enter your world where you are. I help you discover what problems are prohibiting you from living a fulfilling life. In therapy, I provide an environment engaging in empathy, understanding, and acceptance while moving at the client's pace. We will discover together where you need to go and exactly how to get there.
