Hi, I'm Summer!

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™), EMDR Certified Therapist™, Certified AutPlay® Therapy Provider, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training™ (CIT).

My professional work centers on helping therapists develop confidence and competence in their work with children and families through consultation, clinical decision-making labs, and professional education.

I have extensive experience working with children ages 12 and younger in township mental health, school-based, family, and group settings. My clinical experience includes supporting children and families impacted by trauma, attachment challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and other life stressors.

I am particularly passionate about helping clinicians integrate developmentally responsive approaches into their work while remaining attuned to the unique needs of each child and family. My areas of special interest include trauma, attachment, neurodivergence, self-esteem development, family play therapy, and school-based services.

Whether through consultation, workshops, or educational resources, my goal is to create supportive learning experiences that help clinicians strengthen their clinical judgment, deepen attunement, and feel more confident supporting children and families.
