I am a Licensed Professional Counselor/Supervisor and a Registered Play Therapist/Supervisor™, and I began my counseling career at CRC in 2010. I provide counseling services to children, adolescents, caregivers/parents, and families, and I have a special interest in and experience working with issues surrounding the parent-child relationship, parenting support, adoptive families, emotional and behavioral regulation, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma treatment. My approach is relational and informative, and includes skill-building and evidence-based practices.
