Profile :
I am a school-based counselor and couples’ therapist. I am currently working in Marissa schools doing primarily child and family therapy. My background in Child and Family Science and Marriage and Family Therapy caters to working with children, couples, and families. I operate from a whole person perspective and believe that an individual’s relationships and environment play a big part in their overall health.
I use a client-centered approach, working with what the client needs and relates to best. When working with families and couples, I pull from Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, Strategic, and Structural Family Therapy. I love watching the growth in my clients and seeing them reach their goals and better understand themselves and their emotions.
I love building a relationship with my clients and having FUN! I often use play as a means to help promote social skills, empathy, emotion processing and expression, boundaries, and more.
I am a Randolph county local and am excited to be serving in my community and supporting the next generation! I spend my free time with family, baking, or my two dogs Winston and Archie!”
