Life can be challenging - especially for children, teens, young adults, and their families - navigating the ups and downs of home, school, and relationships.  I'm here to help you, your child, and/or your family find balance, growth, and strength in the face of these difficulties.  Together, we will create a safe, supportive space where trust and understanding pave the way toward progress and healing.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 9 years as a teacher, working with students in Pre-K, elementary, and middle school.  This experience gave me invaluable insight into the challenges young people face academically, socially, and emotionally.  After earning my Master's degree in School Counseling, I continued my journey by serving as a school counselor in Kanawha and Putnam County schools for 12 years.  These roles have shaped my ability to connect with children, teens, and families and provide meaningful guidance and support.

​

As a therapist, I now focus on helping school-aged children and their families with an approach rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a genuine passion for seeing others thrive.  I believe in creating an environment where everyone feels heard and valued, fostering resilience and personal growth every step of the way.

​

I look forward to walking this path with you and your family!
