As a licensed therapist, I utilize traditional methods of cognitive behavioral therapy with a generous peppering of other modalities to create customized plans for recovery, healing and growth for my clients.  

Having started out with a specialty in play therapy with preschool age children and parenting coaching, I now am a trainer, helping preschool teachers and parents learn methods to support the emotional needs of young children. I provide supervision and training for therapist in the process of working toward certification in play therapy and I provide training in professional ethics for other therapists. I still see child clients, providing play therapy services and love this work very much.  Additionally, I also provide counseling support, nutritional consultation and classes in yoga, meditation and stress management for women and couples.

I'm an author having published numerous articles on the subject of parenting and child development as well as on the subjects of mindfulness practice. I am currently working on a book to be published in 2013 about the journey of mindfulness, to include chapters on parenting with vision and purpose.  

In my personal life I am a button-poppin'-proud mama to three truly amazing kids. My oldest is in college, one on high school and one in middle school.  I'm married to a great man who is a tremendous support to my dedication to being a professional helper in the world.
