I believe counseling should feel like a honest conversation—warm, respectful, and focused on what matters most to you.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), somatic experiencing practitioner (SEP) and registered play therapist (RPT). I provide a variety of services for children, adolescents, and adults. My work focuses on empowering individuals and families to live with insight, balance, compassion, and joy.

I help individuals and families work towards wholeness and healing with a variety of methods and tools. Together, we’ll explore practical tools and gentle insights that turn confusion into clarity, so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Counseling sessions are available in person, online, or outdoors (walk and talk in nature). Session options are 50 minutes, 90 minutes, and 2 hour intensives.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is an approach that uses play — the natural language of children — to help them express feelings, explore relationships, solve problems, learn to regulate, build self-esteem and learn coping skills. Play therapy can include the use toys, games, art, movement, sandtray and symbolic play to communicate thoughts and emotions that children may not be able to put into words.

I provide child centered play therapy combining somatic experiencing, brainspotting, and integrated listening system (ILS) to gently explore a variety of concerns including adoption & foster care related experiences, developmental trauma, anxiety, mood related concerns, grief and loss, family transitions, behavior issues, bullying, low self-esteem, chronic illness & surgery, and identity related concerns.

Rest and Restore Protocol (Integrated Listening System)

The Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP) supports rest, restoration, and physiological balance.

“Rest and Restore Protocol™ is an innovative, clinical-grade listening therapy based on homeostatic entrainment within a behavioral neuroscience framework. It guides the nervous system back toward homeostasis by restoring internal physiological rhythms — supporting the shift from stress and fatigue toward balance, recovery, and restoration.”

RRP can be used in session or at home.
