Ridgedale Counseling

Therapy should feel like a break from the stress and noise of everyday life, while subtly imparting the wisdom needed to feel better. I draw from play therapy, art therapy, and meditative practices to create an environment that feels natural and engaging. Each session is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re a child, teen, or adult. The focus is on helping you feel supported in the moment while building a sense of openness while we explore the thoughts and feelings that brought you to therapy.

I have had the privilege of assisting many children in the various developmental, academic, transitional, and familial stressors that inevitably arise, and I love attaining success in helping my little clients gain resilience and growth. I know how important it is to support the parents as well, even when we think we don’t need it. Therefore, I strive to create a space where children, teens, and even their parents, look forward to our visits. I also believe it's important to collaborate with other professionals in the child's life (such as Teachers, Doctors, etc.) I strive to create a unified "team" in full support of your child.

Accomplishing your goals is made possible by the expert use of evidence-based methods, along with perspectives from areas like developmental psychology and philosophy.
