​About:

"I believe that God has created each child and young person uniquely with a special purpose; sometimes internal or external challenges arise in their lives and they need guidance to navigate those challenges. My passion is to see children, adolescents and their families fully restored and strengthened. I work closely with caregivers while their child is in therapy to provide a safe space and to provide the support they need for continued wellbeing. I utilize a strength-based approach, play, art, and drama modalities, cognitive behavioral therapy and other evidence-based practices. I believe there is always hope and with the right support each child and youth can reach their fullest potential.  "
