Education: I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Utah Masters in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Experience: Since graduating from my Master’s program, I’ve been working as an outpatient therapist in community mental health with kids, teens, and adults with a variety of needs and abilities including Autism, ADHD, gifted, PTSD and complex trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Specialty/Extra Training: I became inspired by Play Therapy and its power to change lives, so I sought additional training in the specialty. I am recognized by the Association of Play Therapy as a Registered Play Therapist™ which means I have over 180 educational training hours in Child-Centered Play Therapy including Digital Play Therapy and Sandtray therapy training, and over 200 supervisory hours with an expert in the field.

Who I see: I see kids, teens, and adults ages 3+. I often see Neurodivergent children and teens (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, 2e, gifted, etc.) for therapy as many seem to enjoy the non-directive experiential approach more than traditional talk therapy.

Other Fun Facts: I also enjoy hiking, backpacking, mountaineering, climbing, crafting, and spending time with my bunnies and my senior dog George!
