About me

As a counselor I pride myself on providing the best care to all clients. My services are customized for each client to ensure that they obtain the most out of the therapeutic process. Therapy should be many things; and I believe fun can be one of them! Engaging clients and making them feel safe, especially kids is critical. By offering dynamic services that include play and art therapy kids and families not only grow and learn from therapy but feel valued and a sense of belonging. I am honored to have clients trust me with their life story. It is my privilege to walk with you along this journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session I will introduce myself and answer any/all questions you might have for me. I will engage you in conversation regarding who you are, what you like/dislike, family history and then explore what you would like to achieve from therapy and how I can support you with these goals. My goal is that you leave our first session feeling excited, hopeful and more relaxed about the therapeutic process.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Growing up in a rural and small Northern community I was raised with a sense of awareness for the importance of community and supporting one another. This lead me to a career in social work where my skills of listening, empathy and support are utilized everyday to support others. I pride myself on creating a safe environment for all my clients that is free of judgement, trustworthy and positive.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with children, adolescence, families and young adults. My clients are hopeful about their future and excited to start therapy. If they are a child they have parents who are interested in supporting their child and engaging in therapy with them when needed. They want to explore coping skills, develop healthy patterns, deepen their relationship with themselves and focus on a life they are proud of. Other client might struggle with disordered eating or eating disorders and want support for how to manage low self-esteem, healthy eating habits and regulate emotions effectively.
