    Your Child Is Struggling — and You're Ready for Real Support

    When your child is having big meltdowns, withdrawing, or going through something painful, it can feel overwhelming as a parent. You want to help, but you’re not always sure how. In therapy, children don’t have to find the perfect words — they can show you what’s inside through play, art, and creative expression in a space where they feel completely safe.

    How I Help

    Child-Centered Play Therapy: I use this to create a safe, non-judgmental space where children can explore their inner world, build self-esteem, and develop coping skills — all at their own pace. Play is a child’s natural language, and I meet them right where they are.

    Expressive Arts & Narrative Therapy: This approach is great for teens and adults who benefit from creative, directive methods — telling their story through art, metaphor, or writing when words alone aren’t enough.

    Sand Tray Therapy: I use this as a powerful tool for teens (and some adults) to create scenes that reflect their inner emotional world — helping them process experiences that are hard to put into words.

    Education & Experience

    I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas (2022). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and am currently working toward my Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT) credential. I have worked with children, preteens, teens, and young adults across a variety of settings and am committed to ongoing play therapy training and education.

    A Little About Me

    I’m originally from Missouri and a proud dog mom. In my free time, I love hiking, reading, baking, and trying new experiences with my family. I believe therapy works best when the relationship feels warm, genuine, and free from judgment — and that’s exactly what I bring to every session.
