As a school‑based licensed mental health therapist, helping children feel better at school is my main goal. I work closely with teachers and families to support each child’s needs.

My work is guided by the Synergetic Play Therapy modality, which is based on interpersonal neurobiology. This approach focuses on the relationship between the therapist and child, helping children feel safe and supported. Through play, I help kids learn to regulate their nervous system and make sense of stress, trauma, and life transitions. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma‑Focused CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Parent‑Child CARE therapy.

Outside of work, I am a wife and mother of two boys. I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially camping and hiking. I love exploring new foods and cooking, and I’m a seasoned runner—usually training for my next half marathon.
