At the main office and I offer telehealth for those clients who its appropriate for.

I have a wide range of experience and specialize in working with young children and adults. I have training in several evidence based and trauma informed practices including EMDR and Child Parent Psychotherapy. Currently, I am working towards becoming a Registered Play Therapist. I use a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach in all of my work. In working with children, I use relationship-based approach that promotes infant and early childhood mental health. This approach extends to my work with adults because our early experiences with relationships impact our adult relationships. As a client you may expect to see a creative approach to sessions including play therapy techniques, sand tray and other methods. However, I will always use what is a best fit for you or your child.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my son and two cats, Olivia and Penelope. I also enjoy baking and figuring out how to make stuff. I am always wondering “Could I do that?”. Currently, I'm enjoying weaving baskets.

I would have a bakery and specialize in cookies

I can play the violin. I started when I was 4 and stopped when I went to college. It was a lot of work but I learned a lot, have life long memories and I was able to go to several European countries.
