Life is hard. Everyone struggles at times. I believe that therapy should be as fun as possible. It should be a sanctuary to discover and grow. We learn best when we are having fun.

​

I love seeing young people light up when a spark of insight brings on “Aha!” moments. I use things such as games, art, sand, movement, mindfulness, music, and drumming to help individuals or families.  I engage heart to heart conversations where life’s issues can be sorted out or challenged.

 

I enjoy helping parents/caregivers and youth learn to communicate more effectively through encouraging and supporting honest, direct conversations.

​

I invite you to allow me to help your teen or tween cope with life stressors such as anxiety, depression, behavior issues, anger, oppositional defiance, adjustments to new settings, life events, family dynamics, school situations, poor decisions, traumatic events and much much more.

​

I have 25 years experience working with at risk youth and their families. I have three trauma certificates and continue to expand my knowledge in working with adolescents and families on a continual basis. I work from a strength based philosophy, and believe in tapping in to creativity and relationships as core principles that impact or propel growth.

​

I provide teen therapy, child therapy, and family

Therapy in Harrisonburg, Va and the surrounding areas.
