Is your child struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or meltdowns caused by overwhelming emotions? I help kids and teens to navigate tricky issues like ADHD, trauma, depression, or major life changes. With specialized training in Client-Centered Play Therapy and Expressive Arts, I offer a safe space where clients from age 5 to 17 can feel at ease. 

My approach to working with children and young people is creative and flexible, based on their specific needs. I love getting to know them and using their passions, strengths, and talents in the therapeutic process. My goal is for your child to feel truly heard and understood, and for you to feel more confident as a parent by learning tools to support your child through challenges at home and at school.

If you have questions about the best therapy approach for your child’s needs, I’d be happy to offer a brief phone consultation at no charge. Let’s find the right fit to help your child move past today’s difficulties and into a brighter future.

For individuals looking for themselves:

What if your therapist could be someone who has weathered similar storms before? Due to my own experience of ADHD and anxiety, I’ve been where you are — I know how hard it can be. I work with people who struggle to navigate major life changes, stress, lack of focus, or low self-esteem. 

I use an integrative approach that’s tailored to your needs, including Expressive Arts and other evidence-based methods. My therapeutic style is relaxed, intentional, and creative. I’ll take the time to get to know you and understand your strengths. Together we'll identify practical ways to manage difficult emotions and bring more ease to your life.

Telehealth (online counseling) is also available for folks residing anywhere in Tennessee. I invite you to take whatever time you need to decide what’s next for you. 

Meanwhile, I’d be happy to arrange a phone consultation to talk about your fears, questions, and hopes for the therapy process. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to support you in building a more confident and fulfilling life.
