My Approach

More than anything, I’m here to listen, get to know you, reflect, and help you figure out what it is you want in life.

I use an eclectic, person-centered approach to counseling. 

I have completed intensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and it is one of my favorite philosophies. 

I am also a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider; I’ve run ADHD parent support groups and worked with schools to initiate accommodations. I spend a lot of time working with clients to improve executive function skills and helping their families gain a better understanding of how their mind works.

I integrate elements of play therapy into my practice. I’m a big fan of crafts and fiber art, which can make it much easier to talk about the hard stuff! 

I also utilize bibliotherapy often, for both parents and clients, either to expand our understanding or see ourselves reflected in books.

I incorporate mindfulness techniques into sessions and provide psychoeducation (I am a former teacher, after all). I love learning and sharing how our brain plays a part in our emotional regulation.
