I love working with individuals and families and have been since 2008 in the New River Valley in a wide variety of roles. My approach is tailored for each client, situation and goal to find what works best for each unique individual. I use an eclectic approach and embrace a person-centered philosophy to best meet my client’s needs and take joy in helping others explore and achieve personal goals to live a healthier and happier life.
I am a therapist with experience in both school-based and in-home settings working with ADD/ADHD, attachment disorders, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, and trauma and grief/loss to name a few while working with adults, children, adolescents and families providing support, training and crisis interventions.
My early career focused primarily on working with adults in an in-home setting. As I continued to grow and experience new populations, I found my passion working with young children.
As I continue to work towards increasing my skills I have achieved certifications as a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor through the Association for Play Therapy in 2020, a Certified Advanced Child Youth and Family Social Worker through the National Association of Social Workers in 2016, and a Certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist through the Center for Traumatic Stress in Children and Adolescents in 2019.
