“I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children, teens, and adults can feel connected and be seen."
ABOUT ME
I am a licensed National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) who values personal growth, introspection, and learning.
Born and raised in Upstate New York, I have lived and worked in Burlington, Vermont, and New York City, and now Austin, Texas. I offer individual therapy to children, teens, and adults. My approach is fueled by compassion and acceptance. I tailor my approach to your unique developmental needs. I am passionate about play therapy; evidence based practices; Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT); Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT); and mindfulness.
"Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime's work, but it's worth the effort."
– Fred Rogers
