I have both professional and informal experience working with kids and teenagers. I hold a dual Master's degree in Counseling and Art Therapy. I am able to bridge my professional experience with my personable qualities that provide both heart-felt and educational child or teen care. I am a balance of energy and calm, playful and serious. I love being outdoors and active or inside with art activities. I also have two lovely dogs named "Bear" and "Moose" and am well-practiced with dog-care. Being in a family is often stressful and challenging. If interested, I can offer family interventions, therapy focused art-based activities for kids, and much more. I have CPR training. I have skills in climbing (even teaching!) , softball/baseball, basketball, running, and much more (I was an athlete in high school and college). I look forward to meeting you and your family!
