As a therapist, my goal is to walk along with you in a journey to the best version of yourself! I believe in an integrative and holistic approach to treatment. In my work, I employ various methodologies specific to each client's needs. Together we can address a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, relationship difficulties, anger and stress management, low self esteem, life transitions, just to name a few.

I am a Registered Play Therapist and specialize in using play therapy with young children and adolescents for various struggles. I also provide therapy for adults and family therapy. I can assist families with parenting challenges, parent/child relationship problems, and attachment issues.

I offer in-person and online sessions.
