Prior to transitioning to private practice, I have over 10 years of experience in a pediatric hospital, including working in emergency and intensive care, oncology, and perinatal and pediatric palliative care as well as experience in community mental health settings. My primary areas of specialty are chronic illness, medical and emotional trauma, grief and loss. When working with clients, I love using interventions that support the whole person- specifically therapeutic child life interventions, EMDR, play therapy, and expressive arts.
With both a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (from the University of Central Florida) and an Master’s of Science in Human Development & Family Science, emphasis in Child Life (from the University of Georgia), I bring a strong educational background paired with years of experience in healthcare, community mental health, and private practice to help kids and their families navigate life’s challenges.
