My communication style

My motto is "When words fall short, play speaks" and it is my belief that all behaviors are a form of communication; thus my communication style is a play-based approached suitable for even the voiceless. For older individuals, my communication style is open and honest taking a non-judgmental stance.

My journey to mental healthcare

Initially, I began my career as a classroom teacher, then became a school counselor upon seeing a greater need. After becoming a school counselor, I furthered my education and discovered play therapist and pursued professional licensure and eventually opened my own private practice.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by establishing clear, concise and practical steps based on the client's desires, helping them to equip their toolbox, and providing a safe space conducive to the client's overall growth.

Our first session

The first sessions are typically reserved as a rapport-building session where the client and therapist discuss expectations of the therapeutic process and establish goals to guide the treatment.
