I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) in Nashville, TN. Through my experience working as a school-based therapist, I have a great deal of experience and passion working with children and adolescents, as well as their parents. I am also experienced working with young adults and I specialize in helping individuals manage their anxiety. As a Registered Play Therapist, I utilize expressive arts, sand tray, and play therapy frequently, especially with child and adolescent clients. I have specific training in Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, which I use with individual parents/guardians as well as parent groups. I am also trained in Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and as a Mindfulness Educator. Overall, however, I am integrative in the evidence-based modalities I use and I tailor each session and treatment plan to the needs of my clients. I strive to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental, empathetic space in order to support you through life's most challenging seasons. I believe in an egalitarian therapeutic relationship and that, with the right support and tools provided, you have the answers within you to facilitate positive changes in your life. https://www.newlightcounselingtn.com/who-i-serve-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6243c1a60fcdd44714d0bc66/1649215872169-NXJV55TPM1UM5N4QBXBK/unsplash-image-cIfLUEZYLVg.jpg Who I Serve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6243c1a60fcdd44714d0bc66/1649216218918-TRFK71SU8K636ZKZ7328/unsplash-image--Xv7k95vOFA.jpg Who I Serve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6243c1a60fcdd44714d0bc66/1649215784283-1DBGWU0KXVHJ22MWOIB2/unsplash-image-OV44gxH71DU.jpg Who I Serve Click here to learn more about Play Therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6243c1a60fcdd44714d0bc66/1748626511319-JNRTCYMTRZC3UBNQ7BA1/unsplash-image-HaVBMdaEM6Q.jpg Who I Serve - LGBTQIA+ affirming and multiculturally experienced All are welcome and celebrated here! https://www.newlightcounselingtn.com/faqs daily 0.75 2025-06-04 https://www.newlightcounselingtn.com/playtherapy daily 0.75 2022-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6243c1a60fcdd44714d0bc66/1649271781740-ISSMX8UR555Y725FG5EJ/unsplash-image-0VNVxhEnkII.jpg Play Therapy - Children communicate best through play. As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and experience working with children ages 5 and up, I use pretend play, games, therapeutic toys, expressive arts, sand tray and more, all while meeting our treatment goals. I want to make therapy inviting for children and show that it can be a lot of fun for them, as well! Play therapy is not just for kids, though. I utilize sand tray and expressive arts with teens and adults, too, as it can oftentimes feel safer to communicate through these mediums instead of spoken language. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6243c1a60fcdd44714d0bc66/1649299511280-V8EX23S01NDQ8DXRTSZD/unsplash-image-CcbnSarTldQ.jpg Play Therapy - What is Play Therapy, anyway? Association for Play Therapy (APT) defines play therapy as "the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development."
