We want the best for our children, and sometimes we just need another caring adult in our child’s life to be an extra limb of support. Many kids just need a safe place where they can work through their fears and how to face their fears. As a counselor who specializes in working with children in kindergarten through grade 5, I can reassure them they are not alone in their struggles. I understand life is hard, and my counseling sessions are a safe, judgment-free space for children to express themselves.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and play therapy in my sessions to create a warm environment where children want to share what’s on their minds and hearts. I work with children dealing with depression, anxiety, negative thinking, divorced parents, and trauma. I enjoy listening and sharing life with people. I am loving and caring, and I want all my clients to know they’re valued, and that there is always hope.

I keep things simple with kids. We have fun together, and I give them an applicable takeaway project to work on after each session. I counsel in a way that doesn’t make a child feel pressured or judged, but instead, they know they have value and hope. My goals are for them to leave my office feeling it was a valuable use of their time, they would know they are not alone, and there is a way through any problem.
