Support for tough times through tender hands.

Therapy at TenderHands Counseling, PLLC is a collaborative process between the client and counselor. I strive to facilitate the discovery of solutions, identification of goals, development of skills, healing, and the nurturing of inner strength. TenderHands Counseling offers individual sessions for all ages and therapeutic play for children ages 3-10.
The solution-focused and child-centered play therapy approach that are utilized as foundations, provide effective means to address a variety of life’s challenges – anxiety, depression, grief/loss, behavioral concerns, family conflict, parenting concerns, substance use, trauma, ADHD, and social & emotional difficulties. Therapeutic services may include interventions based in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, expression through art, and/or Motivational Interviewing.
TenderHands Counseling will provide a judgement-free, compassionate, trusting, and safe space to support you while an individualized plan is created, based on your unique needs - with you as the expert guide.
