My Approach to Helping

I was trained in systems theory, which means I keep in mind the context of the experience of each person with whom I am working. I am present to assist and support my client as he/she works through the problem(s) presented in therapy. While this looks different for everyone, the ultimate goal is for each person to have attained a sense of progression during and after participating in the therapuetic process.

More Info About My Practice

I have a total of 13 years experience as an elementary school counselor. I have a strong affinity for kids ages 4yo - 12yo, and I thoroughly enjoy their energy and presence. A strong focus of my practice is work with kids and families, and my background of work in the school has definitly strengthened my skills.

I also have several years of experience in the area of grief and loss with kids and families.

I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation prior to your first appointment, so call with questions!
