I am a counselor-in-training, driven by my passion for play therapy. I’m so dedicated to learning all I can that I moved from my original counseling program in Georgia to pursue a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the leading school for play therapy research and training, the University of North Texas (UNT). My initial interest in play therapy has turned into a commitment to provide children with a safe space where they can have their voice heard through communicating their thoughts and feelings in a way that is natural to them.

 

As a child-centered play therapist, I believe that every child possesses unique strengths and abilities. My therapeutic approach is centered around honoring and celebrating these individual qualities by fostering a trusting and supportive relationship that empowers children to discover and explore their inner resources through play. I am eager to continue to learn and grow as a play therapist under the supervision of Jennifer Rette Russell, LPC-S, RPT.  If you're seeking a counselor to support your child's mental and emotional well-being, while also supporting you as a parent throughout their counseling journey, then please reach out.
