About
Life can throw us curveballs at times, and we all need some extra support from time to time. Are you overwhelmed with day-to-day tasks, life transitions, difficult relationships, or possibly parenting? I am here to meet you where you are so we can work together on creating and executing a plan for your personal success; whether it be managing day-to-day tasks, finding a balance that works for you, transitions in life, or working on more positive and assertive communication skills and boundaries. I will join you on your personal journey and assist you along the way in identifying goals personalized to you and provide tools to reach those goals. I incorporate a combination of approaches including systems, CBT, strengths-based, solution-focused, play therapy, and mindfulness to best meet your needs. I enjoy assisting others in problem solving, navigating anxieties, finding a realistic life balance, and finding their assertive voice and boundaries. My professional experience has been with a diverse population of individuals of all ages including children/adolescents, families, and adults with a range of issues including anxiety, ADHD, life phase transitions, school related difficulties, parenting struggles, self-esteem, and family/relationship issues. I enjoy advocating for clients in school for IEP and 504 plans as well. I also have experience in working with military families with children addressing topics surrounding military family issues, child behavioral/emotional issues, deployment/reintegration and transitions. My experiences have come from working in a variety of settings including community agencies, inpatient substance abuse treatment, residential treatment, hospitals, military installations, and private practice. I am excited to go on this journey with you to be the best version of yourself.
