Applied Gaming

Finding creative ways to use personal interests of my clients is a passion of mine. Helping to develop the use of Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPG) in therapy has been one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. I have had the privilege of running groups using TTRPGs for the past seven years, and my work has been featured internationally. I currently run applied gaming groups through Health Quest Innovative Therapeutics and also provide training for mental health professionals wanting to learn more of how to use TTRPGs in therapy themselves.

Individual Therapy

In addition to group work I offer individual therapy services for a wide array of diagnosis. I specialize in working with women and girls on the autism spectrum, anxiety, and trauma. I offer both in person and virtual sessions and am able to provide care in over 40 states thanks to the PsyPact.

Consultation

I am provide consultation services to professionals wanting to use TTRPGs in their practice as well as for media and gaming companies wanting to better understand how to provide intentional accurate representation of psychological themes. I can also provide consultation services discussing the impacts of gaming on learning and growth.

Tabletop Role Playing Therapy
