Let's work together to develop the positive, joyful, and successful life you deserve. With over 30 years of experience, I enjoy working with individual adults, children, and families to help manage overwhelming burdens.

My expertise includes treating anxiety, grief, depression, and suicidal thoughts, as well as addressing concerns related to children with ADHD or behavioral issues. I am also well-versed in family counseling, focusing on parenting and family issues.
I am particularly enthusiastic about working with children and their families to enhance relationships and implement effective parenting techniques that yield the results you want. I offer child play therapy at your home via my mobile play therapy office.

With over 30 years of experience in working with families, my approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.
Child play therapy is an effective approach to help children cope with various challenges, including Anxiety, Stress, Divorce, Friendships (social skills), OCD, Phobias, and more.
Mobile Play Therapy eliminates the added challenge of finding time to drive to and from therapy. I bring my mobile office to you in order to provide a private environment equipped with the proper play therapy equipment that is also free of interfering distractions such as toys, siblings, screens, etc.
Parenting skills counseling compliments play therapy to support children's emotional well-being between sessions and beyond.
Each individual and family is unique, and while parenting is always challenging, it's even more so during times of stress from moves, illness, separation, or divorce.
Counseling services for parents/caregivers will be tailored to meet the specific needs of you and your family, ensuring effective and meaningful therapy sessions that will strengthen family harmony by creating the safe and supportive environment that children and adults need for healing and growth.
Telephonic or video sessions between visits will facilitate communication about the needs of your family so that timely and effective counsel can be provided.
I also enjoy individual counseling with adults struggling with Anxiety, Grief, Trauma, Phobias, Relationship Concerns, or in need of basic
Life Coaching or a desire to Quit Smoking or make other life changes.
Techniques include solution-focused, future-driven, positive counseling as well as hypnotherapy techniques if desired.
