The decision to seek out help for yourself or your child can feel overwhelming. Pursuing the support you need through counseling allows for a space to receive help and find healing. As a counselor, I believe my role is to assist clients in identifying their strengths, finding solutions, and becoming happy, healthy, and whole. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Registered Play Therapist in Meridian, Idaho. While I use a variety of therapeutic approaches with clients of all ages, I specialize in play therapy with children ages 3-12. I believe in the power of play to help children process through life experiences, identify and express their thoughts and feelings, and learn positive coping skills to assist them in being independent and feeling strong and successful. With both children and adolescents, my approach is collaborative, genuine, and strengths based. I have extensive training in trauma and I utilize this hand in hand with my training in play therapy. I consider it an honor to walk alongside of individuals as they process through their experiences and move toward healing.
