Welcome to Surfside Integrative Counseling! Life can feel like an ocean—full of highs, lows, and unexpected waves. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I’m here to help you ride those waves with resilience, creativity, and confidence. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, my goal is to support you through every ebb and flow of your journey toward healing and growth. At Surfside, I believe the most powerful therapy happens within a safe and trusting space, where you can truly be yourself. Here, you’ll find a place free of judgment, where we can dive deep, explore your emotions, and uncover your strengths—together. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of the work we’ll do, and it’s built on mutual respect, openness, and understanding. I take an integrative approach to therapy, blending experiential and evidence-based techniques with the creative use of play. This allows us to find new ways for you to connect with yourself and others, as well as the world around you while embracing your authentic self. Whether through creative exploration, reflective practices, or simply talking things through, we’ll uncover healthier ways for you to communicate, relate, and move forward with clarity. Life may not always be smooth sailing, but I’m honored to be part of your journey. Let’s ride the waves of life together and find the strength and confidence you need to navigate whatever comes next.
